The name means ‘grape-leafed’, and that is what the large leaves resemble; the tree can get up to 30 feet or a little more in a graceful open sort of droopy habit. As with other japonicums, the fall color is varied with oranges, yellows, purples etc. You can see a leaf changing on the left side of the picture. zone 5

Otaki (Acer japonicum 'Otaki')
Round, sharply lobed, large leaves with great fall color make this one of my favorite Japonicums zone 5.

O isami (Acer japonicum 'O isami')
A japonicum with incised leaves, but not as deeply as Aconitifolium. Grows fairly quickly to 25′ in a rangy sort of way but ends up with a graceful wide round head. Wonderful fall color. zone 6

Meigetsu (Acer japonicum 'Meigetsu')
As is true with most japonicums, Meigetsu, with its large round green leaves, finds its glory in its fall color–various hues of orange, red, yellow burgundy. zone 6

Green Cascade (Acer japonicum 'Green Cascade')
The bold green dissected leaves of this green Japonicum make its green weeping palmatum cousins look weak. This is a winner. Zone 5.

Emmit's Pumpkin (Acer japonicum 'Emmett's Pumpkin')
Another in my series of ‘What’s in a Name’: everything. Emmett’s Pumpkin seems to promise what is most prized: orange color with a twist: pumpkinisity; I’m thinking this leaf is going to be round and fat and gloriously orange, and in the fall it is, but the rest of the year, the color is way bland. I will need to study this plant outside before I give it two thumbs up.

Attaryi (Acer japonicum 'Attaryi')
Openly branched pendulous tree to 30′. Attaryi has deeply cleft leaves similar to Aconitifolium, but much larger. Many hued fall color: scarlet to yellow. I am ashamed of this picture! The colors should be gorgeous, not brownish! Zone 5.

Aconitifolium (Acer japonicum 'Aconitifolium')
When mature, the tree is fairly open branched and drooping, sort of like a 20′ umbrella; like other japonicums, the fall color is spectacular

Acer japonicum 'Fairy Lights' (Fairy Lights)
I’m not sure how different Fairy Lights is from Green Cascade or Oregon Fern, but this fall the color was spectacular.
