Acer palmatum dissectum 'Chantilly Lace'
Photos of a 3 gallon
'Chantilly Lace' - one of my favorite [Sam]
lace leaf maples. First photo is summer in
the shade and second photo is showing fall
color and the third is the Chantilly Lace in
my display garden - a little less sun.
Chantilly Lace is a rare variegated lace leaf weeping maple with very fine leaves.
Spring growth is a variegated green which turns to rosy pink in the summer and
crimson in the fall. Very similar to Baldsmith in texture the color variegation is more subtle. Soft
and lacey looking, Chantilly Lace is the perfect maple for a waterfall or pond
setting. As a wonderful
addition to a home garden or landscape, this maple prefers morning sun and some
protection from hot afternoon sun. This often hard to find maple may reach
4' in 10 years. It is a moderate grower and needs some pruning to
enhance the structure of the tree. Once established hardy to USDA zone 6. One of
my favorite lace leaf maples [Sam].

Acer palmatum dissectum 'Dr. Brown
An unusual reddish-brown lace leaf weeping maple that handles full sun - even
though it is a very lacey looking. The
strong red-pink new growth turns to a well named red-brown color in the summer and
then evolves into a fire-engine red in the fall. This cultivar is relatively new
and not found in retail nurseries. A moderate growing cultivar can reach 4' high
and 4' wide in 10 years. Good accent maple for a Japanese style garden or water
feature and one of my new favorites [Sam]. Once established hardy to USDA zone 5. Photo courtesy of Talon
Buchholz.

Acer palmatum dissectum 'Filigree'
This cultivar is not widely found in the plant
trade even though J .D Vertrees says that it is probably
his favorite among the variegated dissectums and smaller
weepers. Filigree as the name implies is a feathery
lace-leaf maple in the variegated category. One of the
smallest of the dissectum group. Filigree requires
shade in the afternoon to prevent the fine green-white lace leaves
from burning in the hot sun. Ideal for a small garden or
water feature because it is slow growing. This rare and
unusual maple is a good selection for either bonsai, a
patio container or a focal point in a small garden. Once
established hardy to USDA zone 6.
Fall colors blend from yellow to gold.

Acer palmatum dissectum 'Orangeola'
Photo on the right show magnificent
fall color.
One of the most outstanding lace leaf
weepers to be introduced 25 years ago.
Spring color is bright orange-red. Orangeola
is a vigorous grower, but is still
considered a smaller lace-leaf than some
reds, including Inaba shidare. A medium
sized weeper with wonderful color
throughout the growing season. The new
growth ranges in color from orange to red.
Summer color tones are bold from orange to
green. Then in late summer
another flush of new growth shows more red
orange with finally an red orange finish in
fall. Recommended sun exposure is mostly
sun. This variety can take hot afternoon sun
with adequate moisture. Estimated height in
10 years is 5' tall and wide. Once
established hardy to USDA zone 5

Acer palmatum dissectum 'Red Dragon'
The first photo shows Red Dragon in
lovely spring color. The second photo shows
Red Dragon in wonderful fall color. Both
photos are courtesy of Talon Buchholz.
Red Dragon has to be one of our favorite
red lace leaf weeping maples. The 3rd
addition of Japanese Maples
by J.D. Vertrees states that Red Dragon is
the best maple for holding its red color
through the summer and "may well prove to be
the standard in the future." (P. 196)
New growth is bright red changing to
burgundy-red in the summer. Fall color is
flaming scarlet. The growth habit is compact
and shows a well-branched cascading mound.
Great for a Japanese garden design, to
accent a water feature or for a patio
container. Once established hardy to USDA
zone 5.

Photo shows the wonderful green lacey look
of this upright cultivar. The second photo
