Description:
Acer palmatum 'Skeeter's Broom' is a compact Japanese maple known for its rich red to purple-red leaves. Its upright, narrow shape makes it ideal for small gardens or container planting. This maple thrives in cool, well-drained soil and benefits from morning sun with afternoon shade. The foliage transitions from a vibrant red in spring to a deep purple-red in summer. Minimal pruning is required, and a layer of wood chips over the root zone helps retain moisture.
