Japanese Maples
June 2008
June 2008
Crimson Queen
Acer Palmatum 'Crimson Queen'
This is one of the finest in the Japanese Maple family. 'Crimson Queen' is a slower growing, and more tightly weeping Laceleaf than others. At maturity, this variety may only grow to six feet tall with a ten-foot spread. This is a definite plus for those with smaller gardens. It has been in cultivation since the 1960's and has earned its popularity for its retention of its unsurpassed color. 'Crimson Queen' holds its burgundy coloring throughout the year until it evolves into a brilliant crimson in the fall.

Acer palmatum var. dissectum 'Viridis'
Green Japanese Laceleaf Maple
This Japanese Maple is often under utilized in landscaping because it is a green variety rather than the popular red Laceleaf Maple. 'Viridis' is a very beautiful, weeping Maple that deserves more attention, especially in the fall, when its vibrant foliage glows golden-yellow and red. 'Viridis' has the advantage of being more shade tolerant than its red counterparts, as well. This variety also has exceptional branching architecture with attractive bark for winter interest.

Acer palmatum 'Orangeola'
Orangeola Japanese Maple
'Orangeola' has a dense mounding habit, with reddish-orange new growth that turns dark green in mid-summer. The second flush is more orange and contrasts wonderfully with the older dark green foliage. The fall color is said to be one of the best. 'Orangeola' may have the best mounding habit of all the Japanese Laceleaf Maples. This variety has a mature height of six to ten feet when grown in its preferred conditions of full sun and humus-rich, well-drained soil.
