The Unique Acer palmatum 'Ryusei' is a Weeping Dwarf Japanese Maple with Small, Broad Leaves with Bright Green Color

Acer palmatum ‘Ryusei’ is a weeping dwarf Japanese maple with the most pendulous Japanese maple on the market today. 'Ryusei' basically grows straight down with a dramatic weeping growth habit. With this extreme growth habit 'Ryusei' won't achieve much height at all without staking. The natural growth of 'Ryusei' will create a mounding ground cover on its own. When grown in a container it can resemble ivy cascading down past the bottom of the pot. For the landscape 'Ryu sei' is generally staked up to a certain height then allowed to fall to the ground making a beautiful flowing waterfall like affect.

The most unusual thing about 'Ryusei' is that it has this extreme weeping growth habit but is the leaves are fully palmate instead of the traditionally lacy leaves of most weeping Japanese maples. The leaves of 'Ryusei' are light green and very attractively star shaped. Most cascading varieties have dissected leaves which makes 'Ryusei' one of the most unique varieties of weeping dwarf Japanese maples there is. The green leaf color is bright green in the spring and darkens somewhat in the summer. These leaves are stunning in the fall as they turn a bright orange that appears to glow in the landscape.

Acer palmatum 'Ryusei' is a fantastic growing dwarf Japanese maple that will grow in sun or shade in basically all climates. 'Ryusei' should grow perfectly well in zones 5 through 9. 'Ryusei' can be grown in full sun even in hotter climates. 'Ryusei' is a very fast grower and can be trained to achieve many different interesting shapes.

Acer palmatum 'Ryusei' is synonymous with 'Ryusen' and is sometimes referred to by that name.

Great!

I received a beautiful tree yesterday! It’s my first Japanese maple of what I hope are many more. I’m so excited to see it grow and you guys really set the gardener up for success. I have enjoyed reading all your emails and all the information I can to learn about them. I can’t wait to order again! This is how a shopping experience should be!

Great tree

Pretty decent height for a one gallon when staked up and it appears to be generally healthy. Well packed too. Can’t wait to see it fill out!

Awesome trees - We hope they trive.

We initially purchased 2. One came with the lead stem broken. I put both on the
4-season porch and began training each one individually up a bamboo pole (3-4').
We purchased a third one hoping it would be near the taller one we have's height.
I also put a bamboo pole; again 3-4 feet tall, and began to train the third one to grow up the pole. Two weeks later they are still alive in their places in our front garden and seem to be thriving. Thank you!
- they are either flanking or in the middle of our 3 beautiful Japanese Maples

Hardy weeping maple

The Ryu sei is a stellar tree. I have 2 of them & both are very hardy. If you are looking for a sun tolerant, winter-hardy weeper, this is the one for you. I am a novice Japanese maple lover and both my Ryu seis have tolerated my efforts to kill them. (just kidding...). It is a beautiful, very forgiving tree. And any tree from Maple Ridge will be a healthy tree.

Excellent Red Emperor Japanese Maple

I received the 3-gallon Red Emperor I had ordered about two weeks ago. The tree was in excellent condition and the packaging immaculate. The tree went into the ground on the same day it arrived and it is beginning to leaf now. MRN is an excellent store and I will not hesitate to buy from them again.

Good

I think is the second or third time i buy from you. Great service, quick, large selection of maples. If i have to say something negative, when i repoted my 3 gallon shaina i noticed it was recently repoted from a 1 gallon to 3 gallon. So when i transplanted it to a larger pot i noticed it have small root ball. So im trying to say i was expecting the 3 gallon were a little bit larger. But i will keep buying from you. Healthy plants.
