Acer palmatum 'Seiryu'

Seiryu Japanese Maple Unique among Japanese maples, 'Seiryu' is the only known upright variety with finely dissected green leaves (most dissected types are weeping). It forms a beautiful, graceful vase-shaped tree with delicate, lacy bright green foliage that gives an airy feel. The fall color is spectacular – a vibrant tapestry of gold, yellow, light orange, and crimson.
