Acer palmatum dissectum 'Crimson Queen'

Description

A low-branching, dwarf tree with delicate feathery leaves. This weeping form makes it a beautiful focal point in small gardens and patio containers, especially amongst greener plants. One of the most popular cultivars of Acer palmatum among gardeners, acclaimed for retaining its burgundy-red color throughout the growing season, though in the heat of the South it can sometimes go a bit green. In autumn, the ferny leaves turn bright orange-red before falling to the ground in a brilliant carpet. A mature specimen has a dramatic cascading form, making it a showpiece in the garden. Leaf tips can scorch easily, so this maple needs some shade. Small weeping form, lacy red foliage.
