Acer palmatum ‘Twombly’s Red Sentinel’ Specimen 1171

Description

Perfect for a smaller garden, this outstanding purple-red variety forms a column that gets about 10′ tall but only 3′ wide in 10 years. Found as a witches broom, it develops intense color that lasts through the growing season and then flashes into spectacular red for fall. Although it has proven somewhat difficult to propagate, the narrow selection grows nicely.
