12-15 ft. x 6-8 ft. This unique maple has a tall, upright vase shape, in contrast to the dwarf stature of other green-leaved members of the Dissectum Group. Its small, lacy leaves are tinted red in spring, becoming a pleasing, light green that collects some red tones as summer goes by. The real show arrives in fall, when the leaves fade to gold that continues to flush crimson before falling. An open-branched, small tree, it is an excellent choice for providing light shade in limited space. They do best in cool climates in well-drained, woodland soil that stays slightly moist in summer. Full sun is preferable for best leaf coloration, but afternoon shade should be provided where summers are hot, to prevent sunburn and browned leaf margins. These are grafted trees and any growth occurring below the graft should be carefully pruned away at the base. Dinensions are estimates after ten years of growth. For reference, we recommend J.D. Vertrees' Japanese Maples 3rd Edition, Timber Press. Size shipped: 18-24 in./One Gallon Pot.
