Lion’s Head Japanese Maple is an heirloom cultivar, dating back to the 1880’s. Unique among Japanese maples for its compact canopy of thick, glossy, deeply textured leaves. Emerging foliage is beautiful dark green lasting well into fall when leaves ultimately transform to gold suffused with rich shades of crimson red. When it forms its dense ruffled autumn crown, it’s easy to see why this regal beauty is called Lions Head Maple.
