Acer palmatum ‘Octopus’ Japanese Maple

Description

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.
