The seven long, thin, deeply divided and dissected lobes of the leaves of this 6-12' mounder are delightfully different and very eye-catching! Bronzy-red foliage in spring stays reddish all summer before turning bright shades of orange to crimson-red in autumn. All the deep colors contrast so well with the wonderful green bark! PSh-Sh/M

Leaves emerge a rich dark purple aging to a bronze-red. Fall brings a brilliant range in yellow. Grows larger than the rest. Plants can grow 18-feet tall and 25-feet wide in 100 years, so plan ahead and plant wisely! Originated in Europe, one of the oldest varieties.

This tree is popular for its bronze-orange leaf color in spring and early summer. During the late summer months, leaves usually turn bronze green. Fall will bring a blazing display of orange-red. This variety is a very heavy weeper. Over time, it will form a near perfect globe shaped specimen with many branches. This variety is beautiful planted next to a red lace leaf variety, especially in Fall.

DISSECTUM, red. Typical in leaf shape to most dissectum cultivars, this maple is lacy and light. It is an old cultivar and has passed the test of time to prove its excellence. Leaves are an outstanding bronze-red in the spring, very bright when compared to other red foliaged forms. By late summer, the leaves have matured to green and are then ready to put on the fall show of crimson-red. This fine plant grows wider than tall.
