Acer palmatum ‘Inaba shidare’ Japanese Maple

Conifer Kingdom — Thu, 24 Dec 2020 16:53:25 +0000

The rich, purple-red leaves of this laceleaf Japanese maple boast a deeper color than other reds and retain it throughout summer without going bronze. In fall, the leaves turn crimson to match the striking red leaf stalks. The very large leaves, less finely dissected than others, have a sturdier look. Also known as ‘Inabe shidare.’ Dissectum.

Acer palmatum ‘Baby Lace’ Japanese Maple

Conifer Kingdom — Thu, 24 Dec 2020 16:53:06 +0000

The small, finely dissected leaves of this slow-growing laceleaf Japanese maple are very thin and delicate so many layers of colors show through. Spring growth emerges reddish-orange and quickly changes to bronzy green with purple-burgundy margins for summer. Fall color is fantastic orange-red. Sensitive to wind, ‘Baby Lace’ should be planted in a protected location.

Acer palmatum ‘Red Dragon’ Japanese Maple

Conifer Kingdom — Thu, 24 Dec 2020 16:03:52 +0000

Red Dragon Japanese maple is reputed to keep its deep purple-red color better than any other laceleaf, and we have certainly seen this to be the case! This Weeping Red Dragon Japanese maple starts the season with bright burgundy new foliage. Leaf color softens to purple-red, which holds throughout the season, even in shade.

Compact and well-branched, this cascading mounded bushy red Japanese maple works well in a small garden or container. This is a favorite for warm climates because its red color persists much better than other varieties which fade by mid-summer. The fall color is also bright red. Don’t forget to check out the wide selection of Acer palmatum species.

Acer palmatum ‘Shigure bato’ Japanese Maple

Conifer Kingdom — Thu, 24 Dec 2020 23:36:45 +0000

The leaves of this Japanese maple, which are somewhat dissected, produce a feathery appearance and a beautiful progression of color. In spring, the light-green leaves have a reddish cast; in summer, they turn green with orange-red tips and edges. This look persists until fall, when leaf colors range from gold to red. The slow-growing, bush-like selection may get as wide as tall.

Acer palmatum ‘Orangeola’ Japanese Maple

Conifer Kingdom — Thu, 24 Dec 2020 15:36:09 +0000

Orangeola Japanese Maple is not quite as red as many other laceleaf weeping Japanese maples, but the foliage is orange-red when it first emerges in spring. By mid-summer, the color is a mix of burgundy and muted green. Acer palmatum Orangeola’s dramatically cascading habit and long-term seasonal interest make it one of our favorites. The second flush of summer growth repeats the bright spring show and produces a beautiful contrast against the older foliage. Dark red and fiery orange-red colors finish the display in fall.

Acer palmatum ‘Jeddeloh Orange’ Japanese Maple

Conifer Kingdom — Thu, 24 Dec 2020 15:35:36 +0000

Not only are the leaves a remarkable array of colors, but the twigs are a distinctive copper-orange color in winter too! The somewhat open and sculptural branching pattern creates a sculptural look even once the leaves have fallen. The foliage on this laceleaf Japanese maple emerges with orange and red highlights. In summer, the green and burgundy leaves develop orange-red margins and contrast with red new growth. In fall, the lacy, dissected leaves become bright orange once more.
