Sculptural, cascading branches and finely dissected, colorful leaves make the classic Acer palmatum dissectum ‘Crimson Queen’ one of the finest of the deep red laceleafs. It is primarily valued in the landscape or garden for its highly ornamental weeping form.  Foliage emerges bright crimson, deepens to burgundy in summer and finishes with brilliant shades of scarlet and orange in the fall. The elegant, mounding plant produces a dense, broadly spreading structure that makes a dramatic impact near water, on a bank or in a courtyard scene.
