This slow-growing, upright Red Pygmy Cutleaf Maple features striking red leaves that may turn green in hotter climates. In the fall, its foliage transforms into a brilliant yellow-gold. The plant also produces small red to purple flowers, adding to its unique charm and beauty.

Best planted in a well-drained soil with high organic matter. Japanese maples are grown as specimen trees or multi-stemmed plants. Any pruning should be done in summer. Mulch well, but avoid heaping mulch against the stem. Most cultivars need full sun or light afternoon shade.
