Acer palmatum ‘Ruby Ridge’
Japanese Maple - Ruby Ridge
A Japanese Maple with some of the darkest red foliage of them all! Spring foliage emerges a bright red and transitions to a dark purple-red by the summer, eventually taking on green tones by the end. Fall foliage is a combo of reds and oranges. The medium sized leaves are coarse with uneven toothed margins, partly curved giving it a crumpled leaf appearance. Grows 6′ high by 3′ wide in a 10 year period.
