Rilas Red

Rilas Red

$34.99 – $84.99

Rilas Red is a finely cut lace leaf which is similar to Red Filigree Lace. Rilas Red is fairly heat and sun tolerant…so it tends to hold it’s color well into the summer. The purple-crimson lace leaves darken in summer, and turn a very nice orange red in the fall. A very delicate and slow grower, this maple does best with morning sun and afternoon shade that is out of the wind placement. This maple can be difficult to grow (but well worth the effort!).

Acer palmatum – species
These Japanese maple trees are green leafed species maples. That is they are 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 Japanese maple for the first time. They are great for multiple plantings in the landscape or bonsai. Spring time color is light green with flecks of red from the leaf buds. As summer progresses the leaves turn a darker shade of green. Fall brings bright oranges and reds to the leaves. Very hardy. Under optimum conditions this tree can grow 30 feet high or more. Many of the trees we offer may have a small grafting scar from a failed grafting attempt.  This scar will be gone in a year or two as the tree matures.
