Maple Japanese Crimson Queen

The Crimson Queen Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum dissectum 'Crimson Queen') is a popular, slow-growing, dwarf weeping tree known for its vibrant, deeply lobed, lace-leaf foliage that emerges crimson-red in spring, holds deep red/burgundy through summer (intensifying in sun), and turns brilliant scarlet in fall, offering great texture and color for containers, rock gardens, or as a specimen. It prefers moist, well-drained soil, needs protection from harsh afternoon sun in hotter climates (Zones 7-9), and is cold-hardy (Zones 5-9).
