A fast growing, weeping lace-leaf Japanese Maple. The leaves are small, and heavily dissected. The spring color is bright green turning to green with red highlights in the summer if planted in the sun. Fall color is deep red with orange highlights. Emerald Lace is the most vigorous of all lace-leaf varieties. I have seen it put on 3ft of growth in one season. It is also extremely durable, thriving in full sun in hot southern climates and also showing exceptional hardiness in cold climates.
