Japanese Maple - Fireglow

The Fireglow Japanese Maple, Acer p. 'Fireglow', is an impressive, vigorous, reliable tree that burns fire-red. It has an upright tree/shrub shape with many slender dark red shoots. Reaching 6-10 feet, it makes an excellent garden or container plant. Fireglow's leaves are not as deeply divided as Bloodgood, but they have a deeper more intense wine-red leaf color that continues well into the heat of summer. Since it does not get as tall or widespread as Bloodgood, it is ideal for those smaller tight spaces. In early fall, the foliage becomes purple-red suffused with green. It is easy to grow, and adapts to most conditions and likes well-drained, humus-rich soil; thrives well in hot, sunny conditions. It is best to feed it once a year with a slow release fertilizer. Fireglow got its name because sun can shine through the leaves for a blazing color accent! . ... find out more
