Buy Seiryu Japanese Maple trees for sale at Advanced Nursery Growers in DeFuniak Springs, Florida. Seiryu Japanese Maple is a beautiful and highly sought-after green laceleaf Japanese maple known for its upright growth habit, delicate foliage, and outstanding seasonal color. Unlike most laceleaf Japanese maples that grow in a weeping or cascading form, Seiryu Japanese Maple grows upright, making it a wonderful choice for customers who want the soft look of a laceleaf maple in a more tree-like shape.

Seiryu Japanese Maple, botanically known as Acer palmatum ‘Seiryu’, has finely cut, lacy green foliage that gives the tree a soft, airy texture. New spring growth may show red-tipped leaves, then mature to fresh green in summer. In fall, Seiryu can turn shades of gold, yellow, orange, and crimson red, giving the landscape beautiful seasonal interest. NC State Extension describes Seiryu as a laceleaf Japanese maple with an upright habit, usually growing around 10–15 feet tall and 8–12 feet wide.

In North Florida, Seiryu Japanese Maple performs best in morning sun, filtered sun, or part shade. Afternoon shade is recommended in the Florida Panhandle to help protect the delicate foliage from summer heat and leaf scorch. Plant in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil and keep watered while the tree is getting established. Japanese maples benefit from mulch around the root zone to help keep soil moisture even and roots cooler.

Well adapted to North Florida, the Florida Panhandle, South Alabama, and other warm Southern climates when planted in a protected location with good drainage and afternoon shade.
