Crimson Sunset Maple

Crimson Sunset Maple

The Crimson Sunset Maple is a purple leafed variety that does well in summer heat.

Heat tolerance is the distinguishing characteristic of this cross. Its foliage looks a lot like that of Crimson King, but its form is more upright and compact. Thanks to the Acer truncatum parentage, it thrives in the summer heat where few purple leafed plants will flourish.
