Acer pal. ‘Seiryu’
(Revisioned 8 Feb 2011)
Acer palmatum dissectum ‘Seiryu’ is well known as the only upright form of cutleaf maple. As a tree, I consider it as one of the most ornamental trees that is hardy to our climate. In particular, its graceful leaves, artistic branches, and the reliable spectacular brilliant red fall colour are attributes that make it perfect for any gardens. I wish I can have a forest of them. Our tree is more than 19 years old, and is about 3.5-4.0 m high. It is located in more than 70% shade.
