Among the best of the weeping red laceleaf maples for its leaf color retention in summer, its scorch resistance, vigor and hardiness. Always popular and attractive.

More strongly weeping than most selections in its group, and wider color changes: orange to red to dark greenish red and back to bright red-orange in the fall.

Unlike most "red" selections that are in fact purple this is more true red. Its color remains vibrant throughout the summer. Smaller than most dissectums, with black bark and a slower growth habit, this maple is a good choice for bonsai or a container.

Although not as lacy or fast growing as some clones, this laceleaf maple holds its dark purple-red leaf color better than others and is especially vigorous in hot climates. Spring color is crimson and fall color is scarlet.
