This stunning Japanese maple boasts a unique columnar habit, making it a perfect choice for small spaces and narrow gardens. Hardy in zones 5-9, it thrives in moderate temperatures and well-drained, slightly acidic soil. The vibrant red foliage emerges in spring, deepens in summer, and transforms into a brilliant crimson in the fall, delivering year-round visual interest. While it does not produce ornamental fruit, its graceful vertical form provides an architectural accent to any landscape. Deer-resistant and low-maintenance, this tree grows to a mature height of 10-15 feet with a spread of 4-6 feet, making it an excellent focal point or hedge alternative.
