Acer palmatum 'Schmidt's Woods' Strapleaf Japanese Maple Type_Beech New growth is a yellowACER PALMATUM 'SCHMIDT'S WOODS' RED STRAP LEAF JAPANESE MAPLE Zones 5 9 'Schmidt's Woods' is a favorite among the nursery visitors. 'Schmidt's Woods' leafs out as a bright red, maturing to a emerald green red. The bright red new growth contrasts nicely older growth. The long strap leaves add extra texture and interest. I am not sure if it is simply a seedling from the woods at one of the Schmidt Nurseries or another strapleaf seedling from Ed Wood,
