Tag a tree: Acer palmatum 'Suminagashi' BBP 2.5in
‘Suminagashi' is a broad upright cultivar. Trees are vase-shaped when young, but gradually broaden with age. This is a fast-growing cultivar that typically grows to 8-10' tall over the first ten years, eventually maturing to 10-15' tall and as wide. Branches may weep at the ends. Palmate leaves (to 4" long) are deeply cut into seven (less frequently 9) elongate-ovate lobes each having toothed margins and pointed tips. Foliage emerges purple red in spring, matures to deep maroon in summer and finally turns bright red in fall. Small reddish flowers in spring are somewhat attractive on close inspection, but are not showy from a distance.
