My two year old potted Seiryu looked great this spring, but a very hot dry spell with high winds caused the leaves to all dry out and fall. But, a couple of weeks later, it is putting on new leaves and seems like it will make a full recovery. (I also moved it to a spot with more shade to protect it during the scorching summer heat.)
I grow this tree in a pot on a South-facing terrace on the top floor of a 9 story building, and it has performed very well since bought at a nursery 2 years ago. The foliage is beautiful spring through fall and more profuse than other acer's I see in my area.

This is becoming a very popular cultivar and rightly so. This Dissectum Group maple is unusual in having an upright habit rather than a mounding, semi-pendulous habit. Spring leaves are green with reddish tips. Fall colour is yellow with a flush of red or orange. It is a vigorous grower and may reach up to 7 m in a very fertile area.
