Very narrow, threadlike leaf lobes give the striking foliage of this dense, upright small tree an open, delicate look. Foliage starts out dark black-red in spring, then softens to burgundy or may bronze out with greenish undertones in full sun. Fall color follows with bright red. Unlike many selections with more rounded canopies, this linearilobum Japanese maple maintains a more narrow habit.
|
Straplike red leaves account for the name of this vigorous, upright Japanese maple, which means "big red bamboo." Leaves emerge deep purple-red and retain their color well through the summer. In fall, the large leaves with pointed tips brighten to crimson.

Leaves emerge raspberry red and darken to purple as they elongate. Leaves have twisted lobes with a very thin cream outline. The appearance of reddish new leaves on top of the bronzed interior foliage give the tree a "red smoke" appearance, which is the translation of the name.
|
Smaller in both stature and leaf size than other red Japanese maples with strap-like leaves, this delicate-looking small tree makes a choice container plant. Its small leaves retain their purple-red coloring throughout summer and turn scarlet in fall. The name means "five long red fingers." Also known as 'Beni ubi gohon' and 'Beni yubi gohon.'

A unique, very slow-growing Japanese maple, this dwarf green cultivar has very narrow, string-like leaves, not much wider than leaf veins. More sturdy than its deceptively delicate look would suggest, 'Fairy Hair' is a selection that will be less than 3 feet tall in 10 years.

The leaf lobes of this slow-growing, upright, green Japanese maple vary in width from narrow and strap-like to hardly more than a leaf vein, which produces an elegant, soft look. The new leaves unfold with crimson tones, but quickly turn green and then take on shades of orange and gold for fall. Named "Golden Old Harp" (or "Harp Strings") in Japanese, this variety can tolerate 80% shade. Also known as 'Koto-no-it.'
|
The long, slender leaf lobes of this upright Japanese maple have tips that hang down and curve providing a graceful, cascading look. Light green new growth emerges somewhat ovate, then narrows, lengthens and turns bright, dark green for summer. Heavy flower and seed set lend additional decoration. The trees is easily shaped and a good choice for container culture. Known by other names, including 'Shinobuga oka,' which refers to the linear lobes.
