Acer palmatum Red Leafed (Atropurpureum)

These trees are red leafed species maples. That is they are red seedlings of the genus Acer palmatum. They are beautiful in their own way all slightly different from one another. They are often hardier than cultivars and make a great choice for the gardener that is looking for a tree for the first time. They are great for multiple plantings in the landscape (can grow up to 20′ +) or for use in bonsai.
