Emerald Lace (Acer palmatum 'Emerald Lace')

Emerald Lace is the best of the green dissectums in my opinion; it has smaller, finer leaves and is thus lacier; it is vigorous so you don’t feel like you’ll be dead before it looks like something and its growth habit is regular and outwardly pendulous without looking weepy; it has scarlet fall color.

Crimson Queen (Acer palmatum 'Crimson Queen')

Probably the best known of the red weeping dissectums, it is not be best by a long shot and it is certainly OK so I will continue to grow it for the many people who know nothing else. Zone 5. This photo was provided by Michael Healy.

Baldsmith (Acer palmatum 'Baldsmith')

In spite of its unprepossessing name, Baldsmith has become popular among the dissectums; it has the same cascading habit, but the leaf color changes throughout the season beginning with tones of pink and orange, adding green in the summer and turning many shades of orange and red in the fall. Unfortunately it is not wildly vigorous, but it is definitely worth waiting for it to grow. I have another cultivar ‘Watnong’ (also unfortunately named) which may be the same cultivar. zone 6. This photo by Michael Helay captures the variation in the color excellently; it is always changing.

This upright red cultivar is smaller and more delicate looking than Bloodgood, otherwise it is pretty similar in that it holds its crimson color well in summer and has good scarlet fall color. Zone 5.

Sorry about the pic. It is truly the lazy man’s photo to put up a pic of a one gallon when there are beauties in the field, but if have seen Sango Kaku or Beni Kawa or any of the coral barks, then you can imagine this tree. Winter Flame is just a little shorter and a little bushier. And more resistant to pseudomonas? Those claims are out there. In my open windy location, pseudomonas is not a problem so I can’t test it. This one is my favorite.
