Description A Dutch lace-leaf dissected leaf Japanese maple cultivar that is very popular in the landscape trade for its color and durability under many conditions.

This small garden tree grows to 8’ in height but 10’ in width. It bears red-purple deeply cut leaves which have 7-11 lobes. It grows very fast when young, often surpassing other similar cultivars.
