Ryusen Japanese Maple
Ryusen Japanese Maple is a stunning, fast-growing weeping variety with a graceful cascading habit. Its bright green leaves emerge in spring, stay fresh and vibrant through summer, and turn vivid shades of orange and red in autumn. Unlike most weeping maples, ‘Ryusen’ maintains a vigorous upright growth from its trunk while its branches drape downward, forming a living waterfall of foliage.
Ideal for use as a focal point, near water features, or in large decorative containers where its elegant shape can be admired.
