The small deeply dissected leaves of this slow growing plant are as delicate as any other variety. Named by Del Locke of Del's Japanese Maple Nursery, the name translates to red spider web. Displaying bright red in spring the color bcomes darker in summer before turning green. Fall color is a very attractive deep red. Although best colors appear in more sun, 'Beni kumo no su' does better in at least partial shade in hot climates.
