Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Baton Rouge Japanese Maple has flaming red, waxy looking bark in the winter that dazzles the drab winter landscape with color. The leaves have some red tipping in the spring for a nice contrast to the branches. Nice bronzing of the leaves when placed in full sun. Fall color is bright yellows with some orange and red which really makes a show against the fiery bark! Does very well in the sun and heat, even in the south. Tends to become even more beautiful in the full sun.

A red-twig variety with increased heat tolerance, making this cultivar great for the southeastern US. Small green leaves give way to bright twigs in winter, putting on quite a show.
