Fireglow (Acer palmatum 'Fireglow' )

Fireglow is one of the hot (no pun intended) Japanese Maples; it is a red leafed cultivar and is thus compared to the standard ‘Bloodgood’; it is smaller than Bloodgood and so suitable for the smaller garden; it comes out bright scarlet and calms down to dark red in the summer; it has a regular branching habit and will be no more than 12′ at maturity. zone 6.
