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.

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.
