Acer rufinerve 'Albolimbatum' ('Hatsuyuki', 'Hatsuyuki Kaede', 'Argenteum', 'Marmoratum', 'Whitedot')
ha: smaller tree, often shrubby
lc: mottled white to various degrees, mostly 20-50%, reverts easily. Vertrees notes that
lc: "as the trees slow in growth rate, the variegation becomes more marked".
lt: 3-5 lobed, the later lobes often shorter than species seedlings
or: presumably Japan where is exists in old gardens today. Certainly known in the mid 1800's.
ns: the RHS now use the Japanese name 'Hatsuyuki' (kaede meaning maple is excluded) as
ns: it is likely older. We have yet to see a Japanese lit. reference or catalog to confirm this.
in: Siebold to Holland c. 1860's, perhaps earlier. Described in the West by J.D. Hooker in 1869.
in: The Arnold Arb. grew it first around 1938.

Acer rufinerve 'Beni Uri'
ha: slower, very hard to grow in some areas
lc: sectored yellow, often slightly deformed, giving the leaf shape a different look with
lc: shorter lobes. Variegation commonly covers part of a lobe and intrudes into the blade.
ll: larger than species typical
afc: bright red, yellow, and green shadings, giving a good marbling
ns: this cultivar name has been applied to a different clone in A. crataegifolium.

Acer rufinerve 'Erythrocladum'
ha: somewhat slower than species typical
tw: more yellow - less green than typical
bk: tinged salmon pink, striped yellow and white, especially showy in winter, more
bk: greenish-yellow in summer.
lc: lighter green than species typical
afc: light to medium yellow shades
in: R. Brimfields Gardens Nursery, CT USA c. 1953
eval, id: this is not A. pennsylvanicum 'Erythrocladum' which is more common and bright red in bark. This
eval, id: is a weaker, harder to graft clone so the Pennsylvanian clone is much more widely seen. If one
eval, id: wants a very bright golden bark then 'Winter Gold' is recommended above this plant.

Acer rufinerve 'Shirayuki' ('Luteovariegatum')
lc: mottled yellow, a similar pattern to 'Albolimbatum' but not nearly so white. It needs some
lc: sun for the best yellow coloration in the chimera.

Acer rufinerve 'Winter Gold'
ha: slightly smaller than species typical
bk: yellowish-green in summer, becoming a very showy bright golden yellow in winter.
afc: yellow to orange shades
or: Peter Douwsma, Victoria, Australia c. 1974 as seedling.
lu: Vertrees recommends using it in contrast with glorious red tones of A. palmatum 'Sango Kaku'
