Japanese Maple 'Fireglow'

FamilySapindaceae

Acer palmatum 'Fireglow' is a Japanese maple notable for its bright, vivid red foliage, which catches the sunlight and creates a vibrant effect throughout the season. More compact than 'Bloodgood', it maintains an elegant, upright shape, perfect for smaller gardens, solitary plantings, or containers. In autumn, its foliage turns a fiery red, enhancing its visual impact. 'Fireglow' is prized for its sun resistance, stable color, and ease of maintenance, making it a prime choice for a colorful and refined ornamental garden.
