Small, slow, narrow tree whose deeply divided leaves appear string-like. New growth is purple-red. Autumn colors are usually a good yellow. Growth habit is upright, opposed to the dome topped cultivars Red Pigmy and Villa Taranto. Exquisite and unique form of the Japanese Maple.

Graham Stuart Thomas says that this "would be my choice if I were restricted to one Japanese Maple." 6-7 in ten years -10-12 tall eventually. Also makes a geat bonsai! When choosing a location, keep in mind that this tree has a slow growth rate. It grows up to 8 feet in height and 8 feet in spread. It can be planted in zones 5 to 8. Prefers well-drained soil that is rich on organic material and full or partial sun. The tree you will receive is growing in a gallon pot and is about 12-18" tall.
