Seiryu (Acer palmatum 'Seiryu')

The only really good upright dissectum, the tree may reach 18′ and is a delicate lacy light green. Zone 5. This photo is from Michael Healy.

Red Dragon (Acer palmatum 'Red Dragon')

Red Dragon, a weeping dissectum, is similar to Crimson Queen but smaller and more compact; it hold the red color in the summer extremely well; the leaves are scarlet in the fall.

Palmatifidum (Acer palmatum 'Palmatifidum')

Much like Viridis or Waterfall, this is a weeping green dissected-leafed cultivar which will get wider than it will tall. The fall color is yellow-orange. zone 6

Otto's Dissectum (Acer palmatum 'Otto's Dissectum')

Mounding dissectum with leaves an interesting mix of green and orange. Orange fall color.

Orangeola (Acer palmatum 'Orangeola')

This cultivar was selected here in the Willamette Valley and it is worthy of its name. It is the last of the palmatums to change color so its bright orange color remains after most other trees are bare ruined choirs. Zone 5.

Lion Heart (Acer palmatum 'Lion Heart')

Lion Heart is supposed to be an upright red like the green Seiryu, but I have not seen that at all. It is definitely red and definitely dissected, but I don’t find that it is nearly as upright as Seiryu. Michael Healy’s photo shows the leaf perfectly.

Inabe shidare (Acer palmatum 'Inabe shidare')

A vigorous red weeping dissectum. Zone 5.

Hana matoi (Acer palmatum 'Hana matoi')

A killer variegated dissectum! Much more colorful than Goshiki shidare or Toyama nishiki and maybe more stable!

Goshiki shidare (Acer palmatum 'Goshiki shidare')

Goshiki shidare is a challenge to grow; it is a variegated dissectum, coming out pink, white and green in the spring, which is lovely but as slow as they come. A plant for the very young.
