"Fukinagashi', which means wind-swept, is a newer selection of green linearilobum that was imported from Japan in 2008. The strap-like leaves are irregular. Some are extremely thin, while others may be wider. The leaf curls slightly, sometimes even giving a more jagged appearance than other linearilobum bamboo-like maples. During the summer, the color is quite destinctive turning to a grey-green. Fall color on 'Fukinagashi' ranges from yellows to red. 'Fukinagashi' is a slower grower reaching 6-8 ft in height in 10 years. Give 'Fukinagashi' protection from the hot afternoon sun for best growth. Will grow in zones 5-9. Thanks for looking
