The Cutleaf Japanese Maple 'Baldsmith' (Acer palmatum var. dissectum 'Baldsmith') is a exquisite, slow-growing, weeping tree prized for its delicate, lace-like foliage that emerges bright orange-red in spring, matures to green with red highlights in summer, and blazes crimson in fall.
The leaves are deeply dissected into 7-9 narrow, thread-like lobes, creating a fine, feathery texture. The weeping habit forms a graceful mound, typically reaching 4-6 feet tall and wide in 10 years. Spring color is a vibrant orange-red. Summer brings green with red tips. Fall is a spectacular crimson. The bark is smooth, gray-green.
