Acer palmatum dissectum 'Tamukeyama' is a beloved Japanese maple cultivar known for its finely dissected, lace-like foliage and dramatic color display. Its cascading, weeping habit makes it a standout for any garden, creating an elegant focal point. The foliage emerges as deep crimson in spring, maintains a rich burgundy-red through the summer, and turns brilliant shades of scarlet in fall.
