Foliage-Accentuated Weeping Standards

Grafted weeping standards are ideal as a feature tree in a compact landscape. These varieties have been chosen specifically for their outstanding foliage form and colour particularly in autumn, where some take centre stage.

	Acer palmatum dissectum 'Inaba Shidare' (weeping standard) Inaba Shidare Weeping Japanese Maple This is a vigorous and sturdy, upright growing Japanese maple with a cascading form. It retains its larger, intricate crimson-burgundy foliage well throughout the season. They do not bronze out in late season, as do other red dissectum maples.
	Acer palmatum dissectum 'Ornatum Bronze' (weeping standard) Ornatum Bronze Weeping Japanese Maple A beautiful Japanese Maple produces stunning deep-red new growth becoming a dark coppery-burgundy colour eventually turning bronze-green as it matures. It has a beautiful domed weeping habit and leaves are deeply lobed with serrated edges. This gives the leaves a feathery look.
	Acer palmatum dissectum 'Viridis' (weeping standard) Viridis Weeping Japanese Maple A graceful and wide spreading weeping Japanese Maple with bright green foliage that has fine serrated foliage giving it a feathery appearance.
