Not too big, not too small, but rather the perfect size for you and your garden! The Garnet Laceleaf Japanese Maple Tree (Acer palmatum dissectum 'Garnet') is known for its spring thread-leaf foliage that is a vagrant red-orange coloration that takes on the look of a garnet gemstone for the summer months!
This deciduous shrub has large, deeply cut foliage that in the spring, produces cute, petite, purple samaras. In the fall, the foliage becomes a vibrant red color that steals the show.
This medium-sized deciduous shrub grows up to 6-8 feet tall and about 8-12 feet wide. The height and width make for a great filler in your garden, leaving plenty of room for perennials to rest below it. Cold and mildly heat tolerant, Garnet Japanese Maples grow throughout USDA planting zones 5 to 8, remaining beautiful all growing season and showing off its beautiful branching during the winter months!
Landscape Application:
The Garnet Laceleaf Japanese Maple has such a prominent color all growing season that makes it amazing as a specimen plant and this particular Maple tree is the queen at being the center of attention!
Fantastic for low-growing yet wide-spreading brilliant color and fine-textured presence in your garden! Plant one by the front of your front steps or at the end of your driveway for a significant boost of curb appeal! You can even pop yours into an oversized container so the lovely foliage and branches can tumble over the edges!
Mix into a Zen Garden or Asian-Inspired water garden where it can reflect into a pool or rise on a berm to garner all the attention! Plant in a rock garden so the branching can cascade and tumble over retaining walls and boulders elegantly!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Planting this Maple in partial shade to full sun (in cooler climates) with well-drained soil is necessary for it to grow to its mature size. Using mulch around the Maple can allow it to have even moisture and requires less labor for you, not to mention it makes for a remarkable contrast against the vibrant red tones. Prune when dormant to remove crossing branches, and broken stems, and tidy up their form if needed.
- Performs in Full Sun or Part Shade
- Well-Drained Soil

- Prune When Dormant
- Versatile & Adaptable
