Seiryu Japanese Maple Tree Live Plant – 4 Inch Pot | Acer palmatum ‘Seiryu’ | Upright Laceleaf Maple | Ornamental Landscape Tree

Add refined structure and beautiful seasonal color to your landscape with this live Seiryu Japanese Maple, botanically known as Acer palmatum ‘Seiryu’. This distinctive Japanese Maple is prized for its finely dissected, lace-like green foliage and elegant upright growth habit.
