Acer palmatum dissectum 'Seiryu' (Japanese Maple)

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.
