True to its name that means "green spreading," this laceleaf Japanese maple only gets about 3" tall, but can spread out much wider. More prostrate than other mounding forms, it can survive beneath snow in colder climates and looks great in the foreground of a landscape where it can spread out. Dark green, dissected foliage goes gold and crimson in fall. Dissectum.

A truly unique dwarf Japanese maple, this cultivar produces layers of small leaves that overlap each other because of close leaf spacing and short petioles. The effect is striking: a very dense, compact plant with a diverse range of leaf size and color. New growth seems to include the whole color spectrum between yellow and green, with older growth turning dark glossy green. In fall, a different color range takes over, spanning the range between yellow and scarlet. Excellent for small landscapes.

Distinguished by dramatic variegation and deeply divided, narrow leaf lobes, this hardy, bushy Japanese maple deserves a prime location.

Reputed (we agree) to keep its deep purple-red color better than any other laceleaf, this Japanese maple starts the season with bright burgundy new foliage.

Extremely finely-cut foliage sets this purple-red laceleaf Japanese maple apart from others. Bright burgundy spring foliage darkens to maroon for summer and then goes vivid red in fall. Although the lacy leaves have a very delicate look, the tree is surprisingly hardy; leaves can burn in full sun or drought, though. 'Red Filigree' grows more slowly than other red laceleafs, but eventually attains a similar size and habit. Dissectum.

Considered perhaps the darkest of any Japanese maple, this compact, slow-growing tree displays distinctive foliage throughout the growing season. Bright pink-red spring leaves become extremely dark purple-red with green ribs by summer and green by fall. As the season changes, fall colors erupt in oranges and reds. Deeply divided, wrinkled leaves that undulate and curve give the tree a somewhat coarse appearance.

This dwarf upright Japanese maple is highly prized for its incredibly cute, star-shaped foliage. Bright red in spring, the leaves turn green during summer. Then, a second flush of new bright red growth creates a striking contrast against the mature green foliage. Sold by some nurseries as 'Beni hoshi,' which means "red star," we prefer using the English translation.

This unusual green Japanese maple has an incredibly pendulous habit, with slender, weeping shoots growing as much as six feet a year! Trained to a desired height, the selection cascades much more intensely than 'Jiro shidare,' which used to be considered the most remarkable weeping broadleaf. Palm-shaped spring leaves emerge yellow-green, change to dark green during summer, and end with orange to red in fall. This is likely the same as 'Ryusen'.

The light green leaves of this small, slow-growing Japanese maple display attractive variegation throughout the growing season.

Protection from hot afternoon sun assures optimal health.

Highly regarded for its outstanding, almost fluorescent coral bark, this upright, spreading Japanese maple produces a fabulous show all four seasons. Red margins decorate the yellow-green spring leaves that gradually change to bright green in summer. Yellow-gold and apricot shades produce a striking fall show.

|
Contrasting colors distinguish this unique Japanese maple. Creamy white spring leaves are decorated with prominent green veins; as they turn green in summer, the veins darken too.

The leaves of this Japanese maple are unique in both cut and color. Unlike other laceleafs, 'Sunset' has leaves that are dissected only once. This distinctive quality produces a saw-tooth look rather than the more familiar doubly dissected look. Leaf color, especially in full sun, is unique too, with a rusty or orange tint to the mature leaves. Yellow spring leaves display significant red highlights, and fall color is bright orange. Dissectum.

This laceleaf Japanese maple, named "tribute to the mountain," dates to 1710, but its fine qualities continue to recommend it.
