Acer palmatum 'Red Emperor' (Japanese Maple)
This shrub a dramatic explosion of color to your garden with the Acer 'Red Emperor'. It is renowned for its exceptional colour retention, featuring deeply lobed, glossy foliage that emerges as a bright viabrant red in spring. Unlike many other red maples that fade to green during the heat of summer, 'Red Emperor' proudly maintains its rich, dark wine-maroon hue all season long before shifting into a breathtaking finale of fiery scarlet and orange in autumn.
With its elegant, upright, and spreading growth habit, 'Red Emperor' makes a spectacular standalone feature tree or focal point. It is highly valued by gardeners for being slightly hardier and more resistant to leaf scorch than older varieties like 'Bloodgood'. It also bursts its buds slightly later in spring, helping it safely bypass late frosts. Whether planted near a pond, featured in a rockery, or grown in a large decorative pot, this low-maintenance maple brings year-round architectural beauty to any landscape. These are presently in a PB18 so shipping within the Nth Island only.
