The Crimson Queen Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum dissectum 'Crimson Queen') is a stunning ornamental tree known for its intricately dissected, lacy foliage that emerges a deep crimson-red in spring, darkening to a burgundy throughout the summer, and turning a brilliant scarlet in the fall. This slow-growing, compact tree reaches a mature height of 8-10 feet and a width of 8-12 feet. It is hardy to zones 5-8 and prefers partial to full sun. For urban landscaping, it is recommended to space these trees 6-8 feet apart to create a beautiful, natural-looking canopy that can bring color and texture to any landscape design. Landscapers can use the Crimson Queen Japanese Maple as a focal point in small gardens, along pathways, or in containers for a stunning pop of color. Complement this tree with other Japanese maples such as the Bloodgood and Emperor 1, as well as other shade-loving plants like hostas, ferns, and astilbes for a beautiful and cohesive look in any urban landscape.
