Acer palmatum ‘Skeeter’s Broom’
Japanese Maple
Acer palmatum ‘Skeeter’s Broom’ is a narrow, dense-foliaged, upright grower that is an excellent choice for adding height in a small or narrow space. It has small, bright-red spring leaves that transition to a deep burgundy color throughout the summer months and then turn scarlet in the autumn, creating a stunning display of color. Acer palmatum ‘Skeeter’s Broom’ prefers soils that are moist and well-drained, but it may experience leaf scorch if exposed to excessive sun, wind, or drought. It is cold-hardy and can be grown as a bonsai, making it a versatile and attractive option for any garden design. Acer palmatum is deciduous and native to Japan, Korea, China, eastern Mongolia, and southeast Russia. Learn more about Acer palmatum.
