Gossamer ribbon leaf This is a great mapleGossamer is an Acer japonicum dwarf with a frilly, dense growth habit. Quite possibly the most finely cut of the japonicums, Gossamer has a very unique, fanciful look. Beautiful green foliage turns to oranges and reds in the fall. Gossamer is a great addition to cold climate landscapes, as it is hardy to 20. This variety maxes out at about 3 feet high by two feet in width. Best suited for zones 5 9.
