Acer Palmatum Seiryu

Seiryu Japanese Maple

A unique Japanese maple, as it has a naturally upright habit rather than a spreading one. Its finely cut foliage gives it a distinctive elegance: in spring it emerges a soft green, remains a bright light green in summer, and then blazes with superb shades of yellow, orange, and vivid red in autumn. Hardy, it withstands cold winters well, though young shoots may be sensitive to late frosts, in which case a protective cover can be useful in autumn. Pruning is not essential, but if necessary, it should be done in late winter to remove dead or poorly positioned branches.
