Ryusen Japanese Maple

A flowing river of beautiful foliage that produces a spectacular display of fall color makes a very special gift tree. The Ryusen Japanese Maple is a newly introduced variety that has a perfect weeping habit and makes a remarkable addition to any garden. In southern gardens Japanese maples can burn and shrivel in summer, but not the Ryusen Japanese Maple, which is very sun resistant and can be grown in full-sun right through zone 8, making it a great addition to a Southern garden, or one that doesn’t have the shade that most Japanese maples need.

• Most sun-resistant of the Japanese Maples
• Fully cascading form for a bank or over a wall
• Can be staked into a weeping tree
• Fall riot of orange and red foliage
• Very adaptable and easy to grow

This wonderful tree can be planted at the top of a wall, on a bank, in a tall pot, or trained upright to produce a dramatic column of cascading leaves that will make a real statement in any garden. Easily grown in most soils that are not too dry, the Ryusen Japanese Maple is the perfect enduring gift tree – graceful, elegant and long-lived, keeping the memory alive forever.
