This Acer palmatum 'Atrolineare' is a distinctive Japanese maple known for its narrow, thread-like leaves that form a fine-textured, airy habit. Recommended for USDA hardiness zones 5 to 8, it thrives in mild climates with temperatures ranging from 20°F to 85°F. Its elegant red to purple foliage intensifies to a brilliant crimson in the fall, creating a stunning seasonal display. Preferring well-drained, slightly acidic soil, it can tolerate partial shade to full sun, making it versatile for garden settings. With a height of 6 to 8 feet and a spread of 4 to 6 feet at maturity, its delicate, cascading shape adds an architectural element to landscapes. Though generally resistant to deer, protection may be necessary in areas with high deer populations. A well-chosen specimen for adding graceful movement and dramatic color to any garden, it does not bear significant fruit.
