Acer Seiryu

Acer palmatum Seiryu is notable for being one of the few upright, laceleaf varieties of Japanese maple, showcasing a unique and graceful form. Its finely dissected leaves emerge a bright green in spring and transform into a vibrant mix of gold, orange, and red in autumn, providing a stunning visual contrast against its elegant, ascending branches.

Suited for various garden styles, including formal, Japanese, and contemporary gardens, Seiryu thrives in partial shade but can also handle full sun in cooler climates, provided it receives adequate moisture. This variety prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil and benefits from sheltered positioning to protect its delicate foliage from strong winds.

Acer palmatum Seiryu reaches a mature height of about 4m to 6m with a similar spread. Its upright and airy form makes it a distinctive and attractive choice for any garden, offering exceptional seasonal color and structural interest.
