A mounding or dome-shaped plant with weeping branches. The leaves unfold to a deep crimson-red in the spring. This colour holds well all summer then changes to scarlet in the fall.
This cultivar gets its name from a mountain on the island of Kyushu, Japan.
Best planted in a well-drained soil with high organic matter. Japanese maples are grown as specimen trees or multi-stemmed plants. Any pruning should be done in summer. Mulch well, but avoid heaping mulch against the stem. Most cultivars need full sun or light afternoon shade.
