Description
‘English Lace’ is one among just a few upright laceleaf Japanese maples in cultivation, but extremely rare. It’s an absolutely lovely small tree to about 15 feet tall and equally as wide with a pleasing natural habit and form similar to that of ‘Seiryu’ but with red leaves. The finely dissected leaves on ours emerge deep maroon-red in spring and holds their color throughout the season better than many other red leaf cultivars. Nice red shades in fall. One of our favorites, this one very natural branching similar to native dogwoods and can be grown in full sun to shady sites, but we think the leaf color will be more intense with more sun. As she grows taller, lower branches can be removed to expose trunk.
Landscape & Garden Uses
To showcase its magnificence and beauty, the English Lace Japanese Maple is best used in the landscape as a focal point specimen to draw attention to a specific area of the home or landscape.
Container culture can extend the useful range of Japanese Maples. They are extremely easy to grow in containers, a practice taken to its most extreme form in the art of bonsai. Click on the link below under Helpful Articles for Japanese Maple container planting instructions.
Note: One Japanese Maple can make a landscape…that is, if you don’t overcrowd it with other trees and plants. Therefore, when choosing companions to plant under or around your Japanese Maple, make sure to select low-growing shrubs or groundcovers that won’t interfere at all with your tree.
Growing Preferences
Though delicate looking, Japanese Maples are actually very tough and long-lived trees. They are very easy to grow in garden beds or containers.
In their natural habitat, Japanese Maples are understory trees, growing in dappled forest sunlight at the edges of woodlands. Ideally they prefer to be grown in similar conditions. That said, there are many sun-tolerant Japanese Maple varieties, of which English Lace is one.
Most any average garden soil will grow Japanese Maples. They prefer a moist but well-drained soil of average or better fertility. As with so many other ornamental plants and trees, constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. So make sure to plant your Japanese Maple in a well-drained site.
