Acer p. d. 'Seiryu' #1

Acer palmatum ‘Seiryu’

Japanese Maple – Upright Laceleaf

‘Seiryu’ is a striking, upright Japanese maple with finely dissected, lace-like leaves that give it an airy, delicate appearance. Unlike many other laceleaf maples, its vertical growth habit makes it ideal for narrow spaces, adding texture and elegance without taking up too much room.

In spring and summer, its vibrant green foliage provides a soft, feathery canopy, while in fall it transforms into a dramatic display of fiery red, orange, and scarlet tones. Its graceful, twisting branches add sculptural interest to the garden in all seasons. Perfect for containers, accent planting, or as a statement tree in the landscape.
