This is a compact, deciduous Japanese maple with a weeping habit, ideal for creating focal points in small gardens or container plantings. Recommended for hardiness zones 5–8, it thrives in temperatures ranging from -20°F to 100°F. Its dazzling fall display features fiery shades of red and orange, adding seasonal interest. In spring and summer, the delicate, deeply lobed foliage exhibits bright green hues. Prefers moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil and benefits from partial to full sun with some afternoon shade to prevent leaf scorch. This slow-growing cultivar has a graceful, cascading shape, typically reaching 6–8 feet in height with a similar spread at maturity. Resistant to deer, it is an excellent choice for adding texture and year-round interest to the landscape. No significant fruit production occurs.
