Japanese Maple - Trompenburg

The Japanese Maple Trompenburg, Acer p. 'Trompenburg', is a very fast growing Japanese maple and one of the most beautiful maples in the world. It has a unique leaf shape and a naturally beautiful structure. This tree's leafstalks are red and in the spring the leaf color is a dark purple sometimes almost appearing brown or chocolate, turning more red as summer begins, but holding its beautiful color that lasts well into late summer. The foliage becomes a brilliant crimson red in fall; leaf edges roll down, giving it a finger-like effect. Trompenburg performs as well as any of the Japanese maples when it comes to heat tolerance. It tolerates full sun in the South, and prefers average, medium, well-drained soil. . ... get more information
