If you love the color red you'll enjoy every part of this impressive acer. This columnar shaped Japanese Maple features bright red spring foliage which darkens through the summer and turns an even more intense scarlet in fall. Not to be left out, the stems are also a distinctive shade of garnet and glow brightly against the blank winter landscape. It can reach heights of 10 to 15 feet and can span 6 to 8 feet in width. Does best in full sun or partly shaded areas of the garden and is great for some foliage interest. 'Twombly's Red Sentinel' is a feast of crimson hues from leaf to stem. This acer is perfect for filling containers and narrower areas of the garden with color in all seasons. It is a must have for your garden if you enjoy bright red foliage brightening up your landscape.
