Acer ‘Emperor 1’ Japanese Maple

Acer palmatum

Emperor One bears a graceful form with blackish red bark. It produces dark red foliage that turns a brilliant scarlet in Autumn. An ideal specimen or small lawn tree. Performs better in colder climates than many Japanese maples as leaves bud out later in spring. Most intense colour in full sun, but best protected with dappled or afternoon shade in hotter regions.
