ACER palmatum 'Burgundy Flame'
Burgundy Flame Japanese Maple, Japanese Maple
The beautiful and ubiquitous Japanese maple is a small, deciduous tree native to eastern Asia. Its cultivar 'Burgundy Flame' features deeply lobed, palmate (hand-shaped) leaves which emerge crimson in spring, deepen to wine-red in summer, and turn fiery tones in fall. In winter, the stark gray branches will add to any garden or landscape.
This fine ornamental tree prefers sites with rich, well-drained soil and part sun to part shade. It is versatile in the landscape and may be grown as a feature plant, in a mixed border or container plant.
