Acer ‘Crispum’

Acer palmatum 'Crispum' is a cultivar of the Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum) known for its distinctive, crinkled, or curled leaf edges, which give it its name, and typically features delicate, deeply divided leaves that are green with red-tipped margins in spring, turning to gold in the fall. This slow-growing, dwarf variety is a popular ornamental plant for gardens, containers, and bonsai, prized for its ornamental foliage and structure, and it thrives in moist, well-drained, acidic soil with protection from harsh winds and intense afternoon sun.  

• Bloom Time: Insignificant flowering in mid-spring.
• Light Requirements: Part Shade (4 to 6 Hours)
• Soil Requirements: Prefers rich, moist, well-draining, slightly acidic soil, but tolerates various soil types and pH levels, as long as drainage is good.
