Acer palmatum ‘Hefner’s Red Select’
Japanese Maple - Hefner's Red
Similar to the traditional ‘Bloodgood’, this Japanese Maple proves to be more heat tolerant holding its colour longer. Leaves emerge bright red in the spring and mature to burgundy-purple by summer before transitioning to a bright red in the fall. Upright, vase shaped grows 10′ high by 8′ wide in a 10 year period.
