Acer palmatum 'Red Feathers' Dwarf Japanese Maple Size:3 Gallon The name 'Wet Heron' comesThis little maple with very fine dissected leaves is an excellent addition to any garden. Among dissectums only 'Red filigree Lace' and 'Beni komo no su' have finer foliage. 'Red Feathers' does seem to grow faster than it's fine leafed cousins.
