Acer palmatum 'Skeeter's Broom'

Japanese maple

Skeeter's Broom is a very attractive, slender upright Japanese maple, with small, neat leaves, bright red in spring, becoming deep purple-red through summer and finally turning bright ruby-red in autumn.It is perfect for a small garden and it associates well with other Japanese maples, rhododendrons, pieris and azaleas. Also good in a large container. Height and spread in 20 years up to around 2 m by 1,2 m. Like most Acer palmatum, plant it in a moist but well-drained, humus-rich soil, in the sun or light shade.
