Spring leaves are light green on red bark! Summer leaves are light green with a cast of orange or pink on yellow-green stems. Fall leaves are yellow on bright red stems. Truly remarkable twig coloring which changes so nicely through the seasons, being most vibrant from late summer through early spring. Better in partial shade.
|
Large green leaves are deeply divided, hence the occasionally used name "fern leaf." Spring leaves are pubescent and typically emerge with a profusion of red to burgundy flowers. Fall color is possibly the most spectacular of all maples, hence the name "dancing peacock." Fall colors are brilliant crimson to orange.

Large, conspicuously marbled, deeply cut leaves display a remarkable show of seasonal colors. In spring, lime veins contrast with white and pink backgrounds. In summer, leaves gradually change to reddish veins against purple-red backgrounds. Fall finishes with flame tones: orange centers with red margins. The tall, spreading tree/shrub gets as wide as tall, about 10 feet.
|
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.

Very pendulous, finely dissected, light orange-red foliage lends a distinctive look to this colorful laceleaf Japanese maple. Summer leaves become green prominently highlighted with pink margins, which produces a multi-colored effect. In fall, yellow foliage with orange hues brightens the scene. Foliage maintains its attractive color even in late summer and early fall when most other cultivars are washed out.
|
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.

Interesting variegation and varied leaf shape distinguish this slow-growing, upright Japanese maple. Light green new leaves emerge with lipstick red margins; as the basic leaf color turns bluish-green, the margins fade to creamy white with a pink-orange blush. Leaf shapes vary too: some are slender and uniform; others are contorted and wider. Fall produces a bright orange and gold display.
|
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.

Spectacular seasonal colors make this small tree highly desirable. Leaf color starts out light yellow-green with a pink flush, then changes to green for summer and takes on a very bright yellow in fall. Shoots and young branches brighten up the winter landscape with striking lemon to apricot-yellow bark. Also known as 'Biho' and 'Bihoo.'
|
This fine, red laceleaf Japanese maple has bright new growth that softens to a deep red that is less dark than other cultivars. Its color holds well into the summer, gradually turning green-red and a pleasant bronze later in the season. In fall, bright red to crimson blends with a hint of orange on the leaves.

One of the best reticulated varieties, it can show so many colors at one time, especially in the spring and early summer. Foliage turns golden orange in fall. Also know as 'Elmwoodie' and 'Elmwoodii.'

We purchased this variety because of the supposed yellow-and-green striped bark. Well it does have some, you just have to look for it! Green leaves with yellow fall color, also a nice narrow upright form.
|
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.'

This new, shrub-like cultivar of Japanese maple was a seedling found growing wild in Japan. Its small, glossy leaves have blunt tips and display attractive seasonal changes: pink-red with light venation in spring; dark green in summer; and golden-yellow in fall.
|
Each small green leaf of this upright Japanese maple has white veins and looks like a "little snowflake," which is the translation of the name. A promising new cultivar.

Dissectum. Purple-red spring and summer foliage bronzes by early fall. Fall color is bright crimson. Some describe this cultivar as upright, but in our experiences it is spreading to mounding.
|
Subspecies of Acer palmatum (Acer palmatum ssp. Matsumurae) native to Japanese forests. Large green leaves turn to bronze, then red, then orange and yellow in the fall.

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.
|
Distinguished by dramatic variegation and deeply divided, narrow leaf lobes, this hardy, bushy Japanese maple deserves a prime location. If sited in full sun, spring leaves will display creamy veins against a purple background; with less sun, green veins stand out against a bright pink background. Regardless, the incredibly showy variegation lasts well into summer, and in fall, bright orange leaves contrast the green veins.

This purple-red laceleaf Japanese maple has long, vigorous new shoots that reach outward like the arms of an octopus and produce a broad dome with an irregular circumference. Its deeply dissected leaves start out bright pink-red, darken to purple-red in early summer and bronze-red by early fall, changing to bright crimson red before leaf drop. Dissectum.0

The name of this tall, shrubby Japanese maple means "gold calico cloth," a reference to the diversity of both leaf color and shape. Spring leaves display different intensities of red with contrasting green venation. In summer, green leaves have bronze highlights and in fall, the foliage ranges from yellow and orange to crimson. The medium size leaves have unusual forms too: each elongated lobe tapers to a narrow point and curls upward to form a rounded trough.

This unique Japanese maple, first recorded in 1704, has three distinctive qualities. Its rich green leaf lobes curl and roll upward to almost form tapering tubes. The distinctly vase-like form has contrasting features: a sturdy, erect stature with compact clusters of leaves and delicate twigs. Finally, the fall foliage can become such an intense yellow as to be nearly fluorescent.
|
Variegated strawberries and cream as the name suggests. Purple-red and burgundy color are contrasted by light pink and cream color tone reticulated leaves. A nice open growth habit exposes colors of interior leaves as well.

This fantastic red laceleaf Japanese maple has a refined, cascading habit and long-term seasonal interest. Spring leaves emerge bright orange-red, then turn burgundy-green by summer. A second flush of summer growth repeats the bright spring show and produces a beautiful contrast against the older foliage. Dark red and fiery orange-red colors finish the display in fall. Dissectum.

This broad, mounding laceleaf Japanese maple develops orange-green spring coloring that can last into summer when planted in full sun. By late summer, the leaves fade to green, but they brighten up again in fall, turning brilliant orange. Dissectum.
|
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. Leaf color softens to purple-red, which holds throughout the season, even in shade. Compact and well-branched, the cascading mounded bushy maple works well in a small garden or container. Fall color is bright red. Dissectum.

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