Acer palmatum var. dissectum Autumn Fire' ~ Autumn Fire Japanese Maple Size:15 GALLON The nectar attracts various beesAutumn Fire Japanese Maple is a small deciduous tree with a weeping habit and long lasting fall color that can hold into winter. The long, deeply dissected lace like palmate leaves are lush green and turns fiery shades as it transitions to red in fall. Small non showy umbels of red flowers bloom mid spring followed by samaras. Grows best in rich, moist, slightly acidic well drained soils. Prefers full sun in cooler climates, but needs afternoon shade
