Acer palmatum dissectum ‘Baby Lace’
Japanese Maple - Cutleaf - Baby Lace
A weeping cutleaf Japanese Maple with very fine dissected leaves. The leaves are half the size of normal dissected varieties in the first year and become smaller in size with age until the size of a thumbnail! Foliage emerges reddish-orange in spring and quickly matures to bronze-green for summer. During summer a second flush or orange-red foliage makes a stunning contrast with the mature foliage. Expect stunning shades of orange-red and pink-red colours during fall. Stake to desired size.
