Product Description
Patsy Japanese Maple is a distinctive upright cultivar prized for its delicate, deeply divided foliage and striking spring color. New leaves emerge bright chartreuse with rich red to purple-red margins, creating a beautiful contrast that makes 'Patsy' stand out from traditional green Japanese maples. As the season progresses, the foliage matures to a fresh green while maintaining its finely textured appearance.
Compact and elegant, 'Patsy' develops a dense upright form that works beautifully as a specimen tree, in smaller gardens, or as an accent in Japanese-inspired landscapes. In fall, the foliage finishes the season with a colorful blend of yellow, orange, and red.

Japanese Maple Care
Japanese maples thrive in well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Most varieties prefer morning sun with protection from intense afternoon heat, especially in warmer climates. Water deeply when needed, allowing the soil to remain moist but never waterlogged. For the best results, always consider the specific sun, size, and growing information listed in the Tree Details above.
