Acer palmatum 'Firefall' is an exceptional weeping red laceleaf Japanese maple that stands out with its vibrant foliage and graceful cascading form. In spring, the finely dissected leaves emerge a brilliant cherry red, creating a brighter appearance than many of the darker maroon laceleaf varieties. The foliage maintains its vivid red tones through late spring and early summer before gradually deepening to maroon as summer progresses. In fall, 'Firefall' truly lives up to its name with a spectacular display of fiery orange-red foliage.
