Tamukeyama is an ancient and revered weeping laceleaf cultivar famous for its deep, rich burgundy color retention. The finely dissected leaves emerge in a brilliant crimson-red in spring and hold their dark color remarkably well all summer. When autumn arrives, the cascading dome turns a vibrant, fiery scarlet. Its graceful, weeping architecture makes it one of the most reliable and beautiful red laceleaf maples available.

Growth Habit & Size
Spreading ยท Weeping ยท Rounded ยท Dwarf
Dwarf with spreading, cascading branches forming a rounded umbrella or mound; graft height and training affect its outline.
What do these growth habit terms mean?
More than one term can apply. Branch direction, crown shape and size describe different characteristics, and the outline can change as a tree matures.
Upright
Main stems and branches emphasize upward growth. An upright tree can still develop a broad canopy.
Spreading
Branches extend outward to form a broad canopy. The tree does not have to be wider than it is tall.
Weeping
Branches or branchlets arch or hang downward. The tree can still have an upright trunk.
Rounded
The crown has a rounded outline. This describes the overall shape rather than the direction of each branch.
Dwarf
A cultivar with a smaller natural stature than typical forms of its species. Dwarf describes size, not branch direction or a fixed height limit; it does not automatically mean slow growth.
For example: Bloodgood can grow upright while developing a broad, rounded canopy with spreading branches.
