Description

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.
Grows into a small, elegant, upright tree with a layered, broad-pyramidal form, resembling a green cloud.
Foliage is bright green in spring and summer, turning outstanding shades of gold, orange, and crimson in fall.
An excellent choice for adding vertical interest and refined texture to a small garden, patio, or Asian-themed landscape where space is limited.
