Action and Timing

Upright growing dissectum to18ft in any light with green lace-leaves tipped with reddish tones as they unfold in spring, then light green all summer until autumn brings forth one of the most spectacular displays with strong gold to light yellows and a suffusion of crimson in most leaves; Dazzling indeed.
 

Nursery Notes

Grafted plant.
 

Opinion

One of the only upright dissectum type to easily attain good height. I rate this maple, in fact one side of my house is covered by one...It is quite breathtaking in full leaf and does well in containers as well as a border. Highly reliable.
