Matsumurae Group -red ? This newly introduced Japanese Red Maple has a short bushy habit and would fit into any small landscape or work as an excellent container plant. Slow growing to 4? in ten years, the plants may grow to 12? after many years. The leaves are red and are especially brilliant in both spring and fall. The leaves are deeply divided with serrated margins. This very new maple is rapidly gaining admirers among maple enthusiasts. We have joined the ranks. We feel Oregon Sunset has some of the best fall color of all cultivars.
