My queen is on the NW corner, exposed to the Canadian squalls all winter (4b zone). I trim 1-2" of winter dieback off in the spring, and she just keeps trucking on. A beautiful addition here in the north where other cultivars can easily winter kill. In full shade mine stays red all summer.

The 'Crimson Queen' Japanese Maple is very hardy planted in FULL SUN, here in zone 8b on the Crystal Coast; both trees have thrived on the S.E. side of driveway; both had suffered some scorching on leaves during the 1st summer after planted year before in the fall. Fifteen yrs later the two trees were purchased from Lowes, both were in a one gallon pot; now the two have turned into wonderful specimens; both standing three feet high and four feet wide. I have posted two photo's of each tree, one during the spring the other in the fall of 2009.

Should container grown Japanese maples be brought into protection in zone 7b, southern Oklahoma? Will they freeze if I leave them out?

Our tree was 4' tall when acquired 5 years ago and has added 6" height and 24" width since then. It has full shade from noon on. It is very full and new branches cascade on their own. It is the centerpiece of a small garden off our flagstone patio. We have many very beautiful trees in our yard, but this one always makes people stop and admire it. It was one of the the most expensive, but worth every penny.

I have six of these, three still in pots and three that I have planted in full shade on my wooded lot. The potted plants get part sun and have gorgeous red foliage. The plants in the shade have fully green foliage in the summer with red fall color. Still a really nice plant either way.

Mine is beautiful and full. It sits under part shade of a large oak and the side of my pool house. When I have visitors, they always comment on the beautiful leaf pattern and sillouette. I acquired this tree with my house last year so I'm not sure how long it took to grow this 4 ft. size. I prune it about once a month during the summer just to keep the branches from touching the ground.

Positive Todd_Boland On Dec 21, 2004, Todd_Boland from St. John's, NL (Zone 5b) wrote:

This is a very popular Dissectum Group Japanese maple, readily available at most larger plant nurseries. The leaves emerge deep red and stay that colour all summer, turning bright scarlet in fall. It can tolerate full sun without burning. It can reach 3 m but may be significantly lower if grafted low. It will cascade with age. Excellent container plant.
