Dark green, dissected foliage goes gold and crimson in fall. Dissectum.

Fall color is bright red. Dissectum.

Dissectum. A very finely dissected form similar to 'Red Filigree Lace' but faster growing.
|
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.

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 unique, weeping Full Moon maple has tiny, lacy, light green leaves shaped like nearly circular snowflakes. Leaves develop orange margins in full sun and turn a blend of yellow and orange in fall. Thought to be a cross between palmatum and shirasawanum maples, the low, wide tree has characteristics of both. Its red flowers and upright chartreuse-pink seeds point to shirasawanum parentage; the dissected foliage looks like a laceleaf palmatum parent. Dissectum.
|
The foliage of this low, slow-growing Full Moon maple looks fantastic throughout the season. Bright pink-red spring leaves become orange-red with green highlights in early summer and bright red and orange in fall. Chartreuse leaf bases and light petioles add to the appeal. In Japanese, the name 'Kawaii' means "cute," not to be confused with the Hawaiin island Kauai. Dissectum.
