Acer palmatum 'Westonbirt Red' Japanese Maple

Acer palmatum 'Westonbirt Red' displays bronze-tinged green foliage in spring that transitions to solid green through summer before developing a consistent, bright red autumn color. The cultivar originated as an unnamed seedling selected at Westonbirt Arboretum in England for its outstanding fall display. It grows as a moderate-sized tree reaching approximately 8-10 feet in height and width within ten years, with a typically upright-spreading habit characteristic of palmate Japanese maples.
