Seiryu Lace Japanese Maple
Acer palmatum dissectum ‘Seiryu’
Seiryu Japanese Maple is a fascinating and unique cultivar because it is the only upright, tree-form Japanese maple with deeply dissected, lace-like green leaves. It breaks the rule that all laceleaf maples are weeping, forming instead a small, vase-shaped tree with an airy, architectural presence.

A unique upright cultivar with fine, lace-cut green leaves (dissectum type), unlike the typical weeping habit of other laceleaf maples.
