Beauty of a Japanese maple on a much larger scale. Same interesting palmate foliage as the smaller trees, but it quickly grows to the size of a small shade tree. Displays three seasons of various shades of red finishing with brilliant red in the fall. Attracts early pollinators, nesting and seed eating birds, but is deer resistant.
