The Japanese maples of the ‘Dissectum’ group are small trees or shrubs distinguished by their deeply divided leaves and their pendulous, spreading growth habit. Despite the fineness of their twigs and the overall delicate appearance they convey, these are robust plants capable of defining a garden on their own. They grow slowly and can reach up to three meters in height and width. These plants withstand the cold but are susceptible to late frosts, especially when young. They have specific soil requirements: the optimal soil should be fresh, loose, moist yet well-drained, slightly acidic, and clayey. Satisfactory results can also be achieved in soils of varying compositions, provided they are not heavy, are free from waterlogging, and are non-calcareous, with the addition of heather soil. The plants require an exposure of partial shade to full sun, protected from strong winds. Partial shade becomes essential in sandy soil or in hot, arid locations.This variety is vigorous, with a globular, pendulous growth habit at the branch tips. The leaves are red in spring, green with red and bronze tints in summer, and crimson red or orange in autumn.
