The Crimson Queen Japanese Maple Bonsai, or Acer Palmatum Dissectum, is more suitable as an Outdoor Bonsai Tree, as it grows to about 10' (3m) tall as a dwarf tree! Its leaves have a long and feathery appearance that gives it a nickname of "Weeping" Maple. The color of the leaves changes from a dark red in the summer to an even deeper red in the fall.For more pictures and Japanese Maple Bonsai Tips, get this book:

This Japanese Maple Bonsai variety certainly lives up to its name, which means "uncut gem". Its leaves start out brick red to purple red, with new leaves that bloom in the spring only being bright red with no purple. As summer approaches, the middle of the leaves turn to green, leaving only a trace of red on the outside. Finally, in the fall, the tiny leaves change to orange, yellow, and red.Get these books to learn a lot more about Bonsai Care and Japanese Maple Bonsai:
