Acer palmatum Dark Straw
It is unusual to find a Dissectum with this very dark shade of red almost a black red . It seems hardy and is finely dissected . It does though need a bit of shade or it will crisp.. I really like this one and the name describes it extremely well . I have had one in a pot for a couple of years and just planted it out .. It is truly different standing distinctly out among the many similar lighter or brighter red dissectums. It does not like wet areas and needs wind protection in colder winter areas
