Acer palmatum 'Ryuzu' (Ryuzu Dwarf Japanese Maple) is a compact and slow-growing Japanese maple prized for its dense, upright form and vibrant foliage. In spring, its small, deeply lobed leaves emerge in a bright lime-green shade, gradually deepening to a rich green during summer. As autumn arrives, the foliage transforms into striking shades of orange and red, creating a breathtaking seasonal display.
This dwarf maple is ideal for small gardens, courtyards, containers, or bonsai cultivation. Acer palmatum 'Ryuzu' thrives in well-drained, moist soil and prefers protection from harsh afternoon sun to maintain its delicate foliage. Its naturally compact growth habit makes it an excellent choice for low-maintenance landscaping.
