Finely dissected leaves are a lighter red with an orange cast. Distinctly different than so many of the red lace-leafs. Fall coloration leaves turn brilliant crimson and orange. Grows wider than tall.

This fine, red laceleaf Japanese maple has bright new growth that softens to a deep red that is less dark than other cultivars. Its color holds well into the summer, gradually turning green-red and a pleasant bronze later in the season. In fall, bright red to crimson blends with a hint of orange on the leaves.

DISSECTUM, red. The distinctions between one red dissectum and the next are difficult to verbally convey. Here goes, leaves of this variety are finely dissected like 'Ornatum'. Unlike many of the reds that try to out do each other to the black end of the spectrum, 'Brocade' is a brighter red and holds this color nearly through summer, at which point it deepens to a pleasant bronze color. In fall this variety turns brilliant red crimsons and oranges. In maturity these specimens will be wider than tall.
