Acer 'Crimson Queen' Japanese Maple Tree
Acer palmatum
Simply Beautiful! Sun to Filtered Sun! Shade tolerant and can be grown in a large container too.
Long regarded as one of the best lace-leaf Japanese maples available, the Crimson Queen Japanese Maple is a beautiful small weeping tree that matures into a wide dome about ten feet tall and the same across. Its delicious dark-red foliage holds its color throughout the summer better than other red-leaf varieties. In fall it turns a richer red to brighten your garden as the seasons turn.
The Crimson Queen Japanese Maple will thrive in the shade of larger trees, or on the north side of your home, bringing grace and color from spring to fall. Remarkable for keeping its brilliant red all summer and never fading to muddy green, this is the pick of the crop for weeping form, compact habit and leaf color too.
Brilliant red fall color. Needs regular watering - weekly, or more often in extreme heat.
