Scarlet Princess Japanese Maple is a small and compact Japanese maple with dense foliage. This bright red miniature tree is one of many miniature laceleaf Japanese maples, but its bright pinkish red spring color, darker red into summer, and scarlet in the fall make up for its petite size. Scarlet Princess Japanese Maple is an excellent fairy garden, container plant, or bonsai plant.
