Acer palmatum Crimson Queen
This is an outdated cultivar available everywhere. I don't care much for it, and there is nothing wrong with a CQ. It is just very ordinary and other dissectums are much nicer . This one grows relatively fast and get very large.
Sculptural, cascading branches and finely dissected, colorful leaves make this classic selection one of the finest of the deep red lace leafs. Foliage emerges bright crimson, deepens to burgundy in summer and finishes with brilliant scarlet in fall, maintaining its color despite summer heat and humidity. The elegant, mounding plant produces a dense, broadly spreading structure that makes a dramatic impact near water, on a bank or in a courtyard setting.
