Here are some images of a fairly obscure and relatively rare cultivar, Acer palmatum 'Edgewood's Golden'. I have seen it referred to, simply, as Edgewood. It has a medium sized, fine textured, dissected leaf. The wide splay of the leaf seems indicative of this cultivar and lends an airy effect to the foliage. The spring color on my shaded, young grafts is bronzy or golden red, up into early summer then gives way to a medium bronzy green. They seem to have unique coloration throughout the growing season. I believe fall and spring color on mature plants is an orange/red. Stems are predominantly green but are said to be golden in spring/summer. This cultivar is said to have come from the late Richard P. Wolff of Red Maple Nursery in PA..
The first picture shows a grouping among some other cultivars in April 2003. They are the reddish plants among the green, to the right side of the picture.

The next two photos were made in June 2003 and show a group of 1g plants and a 3g plant.
