Introducing Acer palmatum ‘Seiryu’, a breathtaking and unique Japanese Maple variety that brings a touch of elegance and sophistication to any garden or landscape. Unlike many other Japanese Maples, ‘Seiryu’ boasts a graceful upright form with delicate, finely dissected foliage that emerges in shades of vibrant green in spring, turning fiery shades of orange and crimson in the fall. This cultivar typically grows to a height of 10-15 feet with a spread of 6-8 feet, making it ideal for small gardens, patios, or as a specimen tree in mixed borders.

For optimal growth and appearance, plant Acer ‘Seiryu’ in a position that receives partial shade to full sun and well-drained soil. Spring or autumn is the best time for planting, allowing the tree to establish its root system before facing extreme temperatures. While ‘Seiryu’ is relatively low-maintenance, regular watering during dry spells and mulching around the base of the tree will help retain moisture and promote healthy growth.

Although Acer ‘Seiryu’ is not known for its flowers, its delicate foliage provides a valuable habitat and food source for pollinators such as bees and butterflies. By creating a welcoming environment, ‘Seiryu’ attracts these beneficial insects, contributing to the support of local pollinator populations and enhancing the biodiversity of your garden. Embrace the beauty and grace of Acer ‘Seiryu’ and create a tranquil oasis that delights both humans and wildlife alike.
