Acer palmatum ‘Geisha Gone Wild’ – Pink Variegated Japanese Maple in #3 Container, 25–32" Tall

Add breathtaking color and rare collector appeal to your landscape with this live Acer palmatum ‘Geisha Gone Wild’, a stunning variegated Japanese maple prized for its vivid pink foliage and ever-changing seasonal color. Originally discovered as a sport of the famous ‘Geisha’ maple, this exceptional cultivar produces dramatic spring leaves highlighted with bright pink margins layered over rich red tones for a truly artistic display.

As the season progresses, foliage may soften into green with creamy variegation, especially in sunnier climates, while dappled light helps preserve the vibrant pink and red coloration longer into summer. In autumn, ‘Geisha Gone Wild’ erupts into dazzling shades of hot pink, bright purple, and crimson, creating one of the most eye-catching fall displays among variegated maples.

Compact and elegant, this vase-shaped ornamental tree reaches approximately 7 feet tall in 10 years, making it ideal for collector gardens, patios, focal plantings, and Japanese-inspired landscapes. Rare and highly sought after, this maple offers outstanding four-season beauty in a manageable size.
