Filigree Japanese Maple

Sometimes you just have to have the very best there is and when it comes to the garden the same is true. So if you admire the best, the Filigree Japanese Maple is that, a connoisseur’s plant that is rarely offered for sale but highly sought after. This cascading tree will become a broad mound of foliage up to six feet tall and nine feet across, a true thing of beauty. Every leaf is a work of art, with seven narrow lobes spreading out like fingers, and each lobe further divided into a perfect lacy form. The veins are prominent and in spring especially they stand out against the soft green of the new foliage. Each leaf appears flecked in white and gold, like a creation by a fairy jeweler. Yet this tree is no more difficult to grow than other Japanese Maples, happy in a partially shade location with protection from the afternoon sun.

• A cascading tree with elegant and graceful foliage
• Every leaf is deeply divided and divided again into beautiful lace
• Jeweled spring-leaves flecked in white and gold
• Beautiful fall colors of yellow and orange
• Thrives in the protection of a partially shaded location

We recommend this tree for cooler zones, where the foliage will last well all summer and turn beautiful shades of yellow and orange in fall. Planted in a partially-shaded location the Filigree Japanese Maple will mature into a unique, high-quality feature in your garden and give great pleasure year after year.
