Hubbs Red Willow Japanese maple

Notes

'Hubbs Red Willow' Japanese maple (Acer palmatum 'Hubbs Red Willow') is a tree for specimen planting, containers, and fall color. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun. The purple-red leaves have long, narrow lobes, so the tree looks like a burgundy bamboo. Fall color turns fiery shades of orange and red. It reaches about 8 feet tall and 4 feet wide in 10 years.

Pairs well with Autumn fern, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and Bridal wreath spiraea.
