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.

Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
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!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
