Acer palmatum Fireglow has vibrant and luminous foliage, which seems to glow with fire, hence its name. The leaves emerge a vivid red in spring and sustain this fiery hue throughout the summer, a notable trait as it remains vibrant even under full sun, unlike other red Japanese maples that might fade. As autumn approaches, the leaves deepen to a rich crimson, providing a striking visual spectacle.
Ideal for a variety of garden styles, from modern to traditional landscapes, Fireglow thrives in full sun to partial shade. It prefers moist, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic pH. Its resilience against sunburn and ability to maintain colour make it particularly valuable for areas exposed to intense sunlight. The tree's upright growth habit and moderate size make it an excellent choice for gardeners wishing to add a dramatic touch without overwhelming the space.
Acer palmatum Fireglow reaches a mature height of about 3 to 4 metres with a spread of about 2.5 to 3 metres. Its compact form and stunning colouration make it a standout addition to any garden, offering year-round visual interest.
What is a bare-rooted tree?
Bare-rooted trees are deciduous trees that have been grown in the ground and are dug up when they've become dormant in the winter. The soil is shaken from their roots and they are bundled up with their roots packed in moist material to prevent dehydration during transport.
