Acer palmatum ‘Ruby Star’ Specimen 1173

Description

This dwarf upright Japanese maple is highly prized for its incredibly cute, star-shaped foliage. Bright red in spring, the leaves turn green 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,” we prefer using the English translation.
