Seiryu Japanese Maple

Seiryu Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum 'Seiryu')Seiryu Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum 'Seiryu') is a rare upright form of the finely dissected, laceleaf Japanese maple group. Most laceleaf maples have a cascading habit, but 'Seiryu' grows with a vertical, vase-shaped form that sets it apart in the landscape. With its finely cut foliage and striking seasonal color, it serves as both an architectural feature and a dynamic focal point in the garden. Distinctive Features'Seiryu' produces deeply divided, lacy leaves that emerge bright green in spring, often with a reddish tint at the edges. The foliage stays fresh and finely textured throughout summer, then transforms into a brilliant mix of gold, orange, and crimson in fall. Its upright habit typically reaches 10 to 15 feet tall and 6 to 10 feet wide over time, forming a graceful silhouette that moves beautifully with the breeze. Growing Conditions Sun Exposure: Full sun to partial shade; best with some afternoon shade in hotter regions to prevent leaf scorch. Soil: Prefers rich, well-drained, slightly acidic soil with organic content. Water: Moderate; maintain consistent moisture, particularly during dry or hot periods. Humidity: Tolerates a range of conditions but performs best with good air movement. ...
