Maple, Japanese Crimson Queen

Acer palmatum 'Crimson Queen'

Richly colored, fine-textured leaves and a cascading habit of growth make this small tree a perfect focal point in front of the house or near the patio. Deeply cut, almost ferny leaves are deep purple all summer then transform into spectacular shades of red and orange in fall. Best sited in an area with morning sun and afternoon shade to protect foliage from intense summer sun.
