'Tamukeyama' is one of the oldest known Japanese maples in production. For at least 300 years (Yes, 300!) this fabulous weeping dissectum has been propagated. That is reason enough to have one in your collection.
An excellent heat-tolerant tree, Acer palmatum dissectum 'Tamukeyama' leafs out in the spring with shades of burgundy, almost brown coloured leaves. Then, the leaves become more burgundy-red, dark red for summer. If located in more shade, more green tones will come out in the leaves. Fall leaf colour is a bright scarlet red.
This cascading, umbrella-shaped laceleaf will grow to about 5' X 5' in ten years and more over time. 'Tamukeyama' is a great choice for full sun and also for locations where late frosts can be expected, as it is late to leaf out. Japanese maples leaves can be sensitive to frost damage.
