Acer palmatum 'Ryusen'Very unique! Acer p. 'Ryusen' is the only fully weeping variety of Japanese maple that we know of. The branches or side shoots hang down from the main trunk making a magnificent 'cascade' of leaves. In summer the tree is a medium green color, but come fall the colors shift to intense yellow, juicy orange or bright red. As we go into winter the tree can create multicolored carpets.
