Acer palmatum 'Glowing Embers'
Glowing Embers Japanese Maple, Japanese Maple
The beautiful and ubiquitous Japanese maple is a small deciduous tree native to eastern Asia. The cultivar 'Glowing Embers' is a vigorous grower and features small deeply lobed, palmate (hand-shaped), purple-stemmed leaves which turn gold and orange in fall. In winter, the stark gray branches will add to any garden or landscape.
More tolerant of heat, drought and sun than most Japanese maples, this cultivar prefers sites with rich, well-drained soil and sun to part shade. It is versatile in the landscape and may be grown as a feature plant, a modestly sized lawn or street tree, in a mixed border or in a container.
