  • Description

  • Notes

WIth a year-round interest, this is the most airy and delicate of all maples. Its produces a glowing red growth in the spring, a soft green in the summer, and golden growth in the fall. This deciduous plant will survive best in a virtually wind-free environment, and is a handsome addition to the garden setting.
Partial shade is best for this small tree, which may be used as an accent to azaleas, for bonsai, or in patios and entryways. Should it be planted in a soil, the tree should receive a soil that holds water but drains quickly.
