Miyabe Maple ‘Morton’

FamilySapindaceae

Acer miyabei ‘Morton’ is a robust and elegant ornamental maple, selected for its brilliant green foliage in season and its orange-red autumn color that brings a spectacular and lasting presence to beds, avenues, or large gardens. Its rounded to slightly spreading silhouette provides a beautiful architectural structure that visually enriches residential or public landscape designs.
