Dwarf Rhode Island Red – Acer Palmatum
A magnificent dwarf Japanese maple with dense, compact branching on an upright habit and a rounded, ovate crown. The stunning palmate large-leafed foliage emerges with a bright red flush in spring and deepens as it ages to a maroon. Outstanding fall color in bright fiery orange to red – and red stems add color to the bare winter silhouette. Holding its color well in the heat and sun ‘Rhode Island Red’ is perfect for containers, conifer beds, small gardens, or to simply beautify and make a statement in the landscape with something uniquely different.
