Acer rubrum (Japanese Maple Tree)
Color Name: Red Sentinel®
Red Sentinel lives up to its name with a brilliant combination of a narrow, columnar form and a striking red fall display. Its strong central leader and densely branching habit create a vibrant, structured presence, with medium green leaves that resist anthracnose and provide cooling shade. Ideal for urban landscapes, street tree plantings, parks, and other compact spaces.
Growing Tips: Japanese maples are relatively adaptable in terms of growing conditions. In cold or exposed sites, they should be sited where they get some protection from the harshest winter weather.
Soil: Any well-drained soil will do.
Pruning: Little needed. May be selectively pruned to shape as needed, but avoid regular trimming or pruning.
Uses: Specimen, containers, flower gardens
