Japanese Maple 'Seiryu' is a ornamental deciduous tree. A rare upright laceleaf Japanese maple — finely dissected green foliage in an upright, columnar rather than weeping form, turning stunning shades of yellow, orange, and red in fall. Prefers moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil in dappled shade to morning sun. Afternoon shade in hot climates prevents leaf scorch. Wind protection is beneficial. The ultimate specimen tree for focal points, courtyard gardens, and landscapes where exceptional foliage color, graceful form, and year-round elegance are paramount.
