‘Lions Head’ Japanese Maple

A LIVING SCULpture

This tree is such a beauty. And it’s instantly recognizable in a landscape, although most people don’t know its name. Its heavily curled green leaves give it a full and fringed texture, and it adds a sculptural quality to the surrounding space that grows better with time.

Yours will do best and be most colorful in fall (purple-red to orange-red patterns) in partial to full sun. And you won’t need a lot of space for this deciduous star that slowly reaches 12-15 feet tall and 8-10 feet wide.
