Ray and Cindy Jackson found this weeping form in a batch of red seedlings. Grow it in a pot on the porch until you select just the right wall or create an arbor or bamboo trellis for it like for a clematis or fruit tree. Truly distinctive, there is none other like it among the centuries of selections of red Japanese maples. We are honored to be the exclusive West Coast distributor for this plant.
