The green leaves of this grafted multi-branched, compact cultivar grow closely together and overlap one another like shingles on a roof, producing a dense lead cover on a sculptural, nearly spherical form. Hardy and easy to grow, this delicate Maple will look great on a patio, deck or garden. In fall, brilliant fiery red leaves create a dramatic show. Provide sun in order to show best colors both in early spring and late into the season. Deciduous. Keep outdoors.
