Acer rubrum 'Vanity' Variegated Red Maple Selected Size:1.5 gallon 'Ryuzu' is a dwarf JapaneseAcer rubrum 'Vanity' Variegated Red Maple Zones 3 9 'Vanity' is a showy variegated red maple. Unlike many other variegated Acer rubrum selections 'Vanity' often makes a bush like form full of pink red new growth maturing to pink, then, white. The variegation on 'Vanity' is quite striking. I recommend giving 'Vanity' protection from the hot afternoon sun for best growth and variegation. 'Vanity' may reach 6 8 ft in 10 years. If someone wants this tree
