Acer palmatum var. dissectum 'Crimson Queen'
Choose Crimson Queen Japanese Maple for a low, weeping red accent near a patio, entry, or pond. The tradeoff is exposure: it looks best with shelter from harsh afternoon sun and drying wind.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A | Its cascading shape and red laceleaf foliage make it a strong focal plant without needing flowers. |
| Growth Rate | B- | It grows at a moderate pace, so it is better for patient accent planting than fast coverage. |
| Maintenance | B | It needs thoughtful placement, steady moisture while establishing, and light pruning rather than hard shaping. |
| Deer Resistance | C | Young trees like this can be browsed or rubbed by deer, so protect it while it establishes where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | B- | It stays low in character, but the spreading habit needs more room than narrow foundation strips allow. |
| Screening Value | D | This is an accent tree, not a privacy plant or visual barrier. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for a protected, visible spot where the shape can spread naturally and the foliage is not pushed by heat, wind, or dry soil.
| Mature Height | 7 ft |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 9 ft |
| Hardiness Zones | 4a-8a |
| Spacing | 9 ft |
| Sun | Full Sun to Part Shade |
| Moisture | Average to moist |
| Growth Habit | Weeping, mounding, cascading |
It can take sun, but harsh afternoon exposure can stress the foliage; shelter is the safer choice.
Yes, but keep pruning light and selective so the weeping structure stays natural.
No, buy it for form and color, not shade or screening.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
