Acer palmatum dissectum ‘Eagle Claw’
Japanese Maple - Cutleaf - Eagle Claw
A slower growing weeping Japanese Maple than that of the similar ‘Eagle’s Tail’ (Washi no o) variety. The green leaf lobes curve downwards imitating the shape of an eagle’s claw, hence the name. The leaves transition to orange-yellow fall colours with potential reddish margins. Stake to grow to desired size.
