Acer palmatum 'Rikuzen shidare'

A vigorous, weeping Japanese Maple. This variety has a habit similar to 'Ryusen' but with large amoenum-type leaves. The spring and summer color is green changing to bright yellow and orange in the fall. It will need to be staked for height, otherwise it will grow into a sprawling ground cover. Originated in the Rikuzen province of Japan.
