This is one of the most
pendulous varieties we grow. It has deep purple red color in spring and
maintains its color well into summer before turning bronze and then green. Fall
color is bright red and striking. This is probably one of the oldest red
dissectum forms, as the name simply means red cascading, at one time all red
weeping forms were given this name. Over time a superior clone must have been
selected and remains in production today. Very old plants with this name still
exist in Japan
that are over 15 feet tall and 20 feet wide.
