Japanese Maple Weeping 'Crimson Queen'
Acer palmatum var. dissectum 'Crimson Queen'
Crimson Queen is a common variety of weeping Japanese Maple. Its laceleaf foliage holds its strong, red colour well and is sun-tolerant, meaning it can grow in full sun with almost no foliage burning. Fall colour is bright scarlet.
The varieties of weeping Japanese Maples that we carry are top-grafted and generally will not grow much taller than the size that they are in our yard. If a taller height is desired, you can stake a young, flexible branch upright onto a pole and let it grow to your desired height, removing the stake once the branch's wood has hardened.
Japanese maples have the best colour in morning sun and afternoon shade. They can tolerate full sun but may have some leaf scorching in late summer, especially in dry soil. Use mulch around the root system to hold in moisture and keep the roots cool.
Seasonal Availability: Typically available May through September, depending on suppliers availability.
