Acer palmatum ‘Ruby Star’ Japanese Maple
- Upright dwarf variety with star-shaped leaves
- Bright red spring leaves, green in summer; second flush of red in mid-summer; yellow-orange in fall
- Also known as 'Beni Hoshi' Japanese maple
Description
This dwarf upright Japanese maple is highly prized for its incredibly cute, star-shaped foliage. Bright red in spring, the leaves turn greenish during summer. Then, a second flush of new bright red growth creates a striking contrast against the mature green foliage. Sold by some nurseries as ‘Beni hoshi,’ which means “red star,” but we prefer using the English translation.
