Japanese Maple 'Skeeter's Broom'
Acer palmatum ‘Skeeter’s Broom’ is a miniature deciduous shrub with pretty foliage of small, sharply lobed leaves that emerge bright red in spring and mature to rich purple-red throughout the summer. The attractive foliage turns bright scarlet in the fall before shedding to the ground. A very vigorous sport of famed Acer palmatum ‘Bloodgood’, it features a narrow, upright habit and is ideal for containers or small gardens.
