Plant Details

‘Ryusen’ is unique for its true weeping habit. It is grafted then trained as an upright plant until a desirable height before allowing the plant to naturally weep. The branching emerge at about a 45° angle and then become pendant almost vertically. Foliage is green in the spring and summer and turns to rich tones of red and gold in autumn. ‘Ryusen’ was discovered in Kawaguchi City, Saitama, Japan as a naturally occurring whole plant mutant in a maple nursery in summer of 1990.
