Introducing the Acer palmatum ssp. matsumurae 'Trompenburg' - a hardy and stunning Japanese Maple variety that will make a colorful addition to any garden. Unlike its green-leaved counterparts, this variety has glossy deep purple-red leaves that hold their color well into the heat of summer and turn into beautiful crimson in the fall. The winter silhouette is also a delight with its smooth gray bark making it an attraction throughout the "off season". Although the seedlings may not resemble the mother tree, the Trompenburg produces a high proportion of red-leaved offspring from fresh/green seed. This variety is slightly hardier than the green-leaved types and its fall color is sensational. Give your garden an exotic twist with Acer palmatum ssp. matsumurae 'Trompenburg.'
