A nice dwarf, ‘ribbonleaf’ Japanese Maple which is superior to the original ‘Atrolineare’ in colour retention. Narrow long red strap-like lobe leaves emerge bright red in the spring, turning a purplish-red colour which holds well in summer till late when green tones start to emerge. Yellow-red fall colours are displayed. A round-topped shrub, growing 6′ high by 3′ wide in a 10 year period.
