Columnar Japanese Maple

Acer palmatum Columnar is an extremely upright, vigorous, narrow growing Japanese Maple. Bright green spring foliage is lightly edged with pink and gives way to deep green summer foliage. Columnar has a rainbow of fall color with leaves slowly transitioning from green to yellows, oranges and finally reds.

Columnar is fairly fast growing and is expected to reach 15 ft in height by 4-5 ft in width in 10 years, making it a great option for tight (narrow) spaces where you may not be able to fit a more full tree. Other columnar shapes include: Tsukasa Silhouette, Winter’s Red Columnar, and Twombly’s Red Sentinel. Cold hardy to -10 F, best suited for zones 5-9.
