Acer palmatum dissectum ‘Crimson Queen’, commonly known as the Crimson Queen Japanese Maple, is a cultivar of the Japanese Maple renowned for its weeping form and finely dissected, deep red-purple foliage. The leaves emerge a vibrant red in spring, maintain their color through summer, and then transform into brilliant scarlet hues in the fall before dropping. This cultivar is a relatively small, slow-growing tree, typically reaching a height and spread of 2-3 meters.

Cultivation Guide

  • Light: Thrives in full sun to partial shade. In hotter climates, it benefits from afternoon shade to prevent leaf scorch. 
  • Soil: Prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil. 
  • Watering: Requires consistent moisture, especially during establishment. 
  • Hardiness: Generally cold hardy, but may be susceptible to frost damage if foliage emerges too early. 
  • Pruning: Minimal pruning is usually needed, but any dead or crossing branches can be removed in late winter. 
  • Planting: Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, while bare-root plants should be planted in winter. 
  • Uses: Ideal as a specimen plant, in rock gardens, near water features, or in containers.
