Seiryu Upright Lace Leaf Japanese Maple, Fast Growing Acer Palmatum Tree - Live Plant

A truly unique and highly sought-after Japanese maple, 'Seiryu' is prized for its graceful, upright form and finely textured foliage. Unlike most laceleaf Japanese maples that have a weeping habit, ‘Seiryu’ grows upright with elegant branching, making it an exceptional focal point for landscapes, entryways, patios, and Japanese-inspired gardens. In spring, delicate bright green dissected leaves emerge, creating a soft, airy appearance that adds movement and texture to the garden. Through summer, the foliage remains fresh green and vibrant, offering a cooling effect in the landscape. As temperatures cool in fall, ‘Seiryu’ transforms into a spectacular display of fiery gold, orange, and crimson-red tones, making it one of the most stunning fall-color Japanese maples available. Its naturally elegant structure and moderate growth habit make it ideal for small gardens, specimen planting, container growing, or layered landscape designs. ‘Seiryu’ thrives in partial shade but can tolerate more sun than many delicate laceleaf varieties, especially in cooler climates. Whether planted as a statement tree or incorporated into a woodland or cottage garden, Acer palmatum ‘Seiryu’ offers year-round beauty, texture, and timeless appeal.
