Trompenburg Japanese Maple is an upright red Japanese maple that adds character and charm to any landscape, and boasts a unique leaf structure. The large leaves create an unusual hand-like effect by curling under, lending a unique aesthetic to this particular variant. Some experts even identify a resemblance with the Acer shirasawanum hybrid.
On full bloom, Trompenburg graces your garden with a deep, burgundy-red hue, becoming a visual masterpiece in early spring. Impressively, it retains this lovely red tone throughout summer, even under full sunlight. As the seasons change, the fall arrives with an intense scarlet red transformation.
Growing at a remarkable rate of 9 to 10 inches a year, Trompenburg maple reaches 15-22 feet over time. With maturity, it takes on a vase-like structure, adding an aesthetically pleasing element to your garden. Perfect for those looking for unusual charm and character, this cultivar is an ideal choice for amateurs and experts alike. Although the seedlings may not resemble the mother tree, Trompenburg produces a high proportion of red-leaved offspring from fresh/green seed.
