Japanese Maples

Acer palmatum 'Fireball'

This dwarf variety gets it name from its bright red foliage in the spring that deepens to a rich, scarlet purple-red in the fall. It stays compact and rounded, slowly reaching 4-5' tall and 3-4' wide. Requires at least 5 hours of full sun to keep its vibrant, red tones. Does best when planted in organically rich, moist, but well-draining soil.

Acer palmatum 'Sango Kaku'

The 'Coral Bark' maple is prized for its vibrant, red bark that is exposed in the winter. Its vibrant, green foliage is edged with red margins and turns golden-yellow in the fall. This variety has a dense, upright growth habit and will reach 15-25' tall and 15-20' wide at maturity. Prefers morning sun and afternoon shade. An excellent specimen tree.
