PLANT PROFILE

Acer palmatum dissectum 'Seiryu' (Japanese Maple) is a rare upright form within the dissectum group, offering finely dissected foliage on a compact vertical frame. Green lace-like leaves emerge in spring and turn crimson and gold in autumn, adding vivid colour and soft texture to small and structured spaces.

They look excellent as feature trees in courtyards, layered borders, or Japanese-inspired designs where upright structure is needed without sacrificing delicacy. Unlike cascading dissectum types, this variety holds a vase-shaped form, making it ideal for areas with limited ground space.

Well suited to ornamental borders, pots, and spaces requiring seasonal contrast and refined branching.

Mature Height: 3 m – 4 m

Mature Width: 3 m – 4 m

Avenue Planting Trees: Not typically used for avenues.

How to Plant Acer palmatum dissectum 'Seiryu'

  1. Spot Selection: A location with filtered sunlight, especially protected from the afternoon sun, is ideal.
  2. Soil Enhancement: Integrate organic compost into the soil to improve its structure and drainage properties.
  3. Digging Depth: The hole should be approximately double the width of the tree's root ball.
  4. Positioning the Tree: Gently place the 'Seiryu' in the hole, backfill with soil, and press softly.
  5. Immediate Watering: Thoroughly water post-planting to support root development.

Use this as a reference when digging your planting hole. We recommend digging at least 10% wider than the dimensions below to encourage strong root development.
