Plant Description

The Acer palmatum cv atropurpureum, commonly known as the Japanese maple ‘Atropurpureum’, is a striking deciduous tree known for its deeply lobed leaves that turn a brilliant red-purple throughout the seasons. This cultivar typically grows to about 15-25 feet tall with a similar spread, creating a graceful, layered canopy. The leaves are palmate with 5-7 lobes, providing a delicate, lace-like appearance. In spring and summer, the foliage maintains a rich burgundy hue, transitioning to vibrant scarlet in autumn. The bark is smooth and grey, complementing the colorful foliage.
