Acer palmatum 'Fireglow' – Acer palmatum 'Fireglow'

View prices and availability
Attractive large shrub to small tree with vertical growth pattern. ‘Fireglow’ resembles ‘Bloodgood’ in some respects but differs in that the leaves are less deeply lobed. The leaf colour of ‘Fireglow’ is also rather redder. The vigorously growing shoots are fairly slender. The young leaf emerges pinkish-red, turning dark red later. In autumn it turns purplish red with dark green. The leaves are flaming red, especially when backlit, and the tree does full justice to its cultivar name. Highly suitable for locations for which ‘Bloodgood’ would be too big.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
