Types of Japanese Maples

Acer palmatum

The palmatums are generally more upright, growing up to 30 feet tall, and possessing leaves with broad lobes which have smoother margins as compared to the dissectums.

Acer palmatum dissectum

The dissectums are generally mounding in habit growing up to 10 feet tall (at best), and possess leaves with deep lobes which are fine, delicate, and deeply serrated as compared to the palmatums. These finer leaves can experience leaf scorch from the heat of the summer without even watering and some afternoon shade. Such scorch greatly detracts from the beauty of the plant, but rarely causes long term harm.
