Acer palmatum dissectum 'Crimson Queen' is a magnificent Japanese maple known for its elegant weeping habit and finely cut, lace-like leaves. The foliage emerges a vibrant red in spring, deepens to crimson in summer, and transitions to rich scarlet tones in autumn, providing year-round ornamental interest. Perfect for small gardens, patios, or as a focal point in landscaped spaces, this tree thrives in partial shade and adds a touch of sophistication to any setting. Its compact, cascading form makes it ideal for containers or tight garden spaces.
