Acer palmatum 'Lionheart'
The exquisite Japanese maple cultivar 'Lionheart' is a spectacular sight in all seasons. In the spring, 'Lionheart' bursts forth with brilliant pink-red to bright red foliage that later deepens to maroon. As summer wears on, the leaves take on an enchanting bronze hue, and in autumn they transform into a mesmerizing orange to crimson red. 
This marvelous tree is also known for its vigorous upward growth habit and dramatic weeping form. 'Lionheart' can reach 8-10 feet in height and width in 15 years, and the weeping form creates a delightful layered and arching effect. 'Lionheart' is an exquisite addition to any garden, and its beauty will last for many years to come.
