In spring, the finely dissected green leaves emerge with each leaf tip appearing as though it has been dipped in vibrant red to purple-red paint, creating a striking two-tone effect across the cascading canopy. As the season progresses, the foliage settles into green before transforming in autumn to bright shades of yellow and orange. With its graceful weeping habit and spreading form, ‘Spring Delight’ can reach approximately 3–4 ft tall and 6–8 ft wide in 10 years, making it an excellent choice for adding color, texture, and movement to the landscape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Gracefully weeping with a broad, cascading form\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e10-Year Size:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Approximately 3–4 ft tall and 6–8 ft wide\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Moderate\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Finely dissected green laceleaf foliage with distinctive red to purple-red tips in spring\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFall Color:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Bright yellow to orange\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Found and introduced by Talon Buchholz\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLight:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Morning sun to partial shade; protection from intense afternoon sun is recommended in hotter climates\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSoil:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Zones 5–9\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBest Uses:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Specimen tree, Japanese gardens, woodland gardens, containers, rock gardens, and cascading landscape plantings\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBest Feature:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Unique red to purple-red leaf tips contrasting against green laceleaf foliage in spring\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGarden Interest:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Provides exceptional spring color followed by delicate green summer foliage and brilliant yellow-orange fall color\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy You'll Love It:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e ‘Spring Delight’ offers an unusual and captivating spring display unlike typical green laceleaf Japanese maples, combining painted-looking red leaf tips with an elegant weeping form for a truly memorable garden specimen.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Buchholz Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Pot #1","offer_id":48812125356226,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/9791\/3282\/files\/springdelight5.jpg?v=1789487203","url":"https:\/\/buchholznursery.com\/products\/acer-palmatum-spring-delight-japanese-maple","provider":"Buchholz Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
