RED PYGMY JAPANESE MAPLE

Acer palmatum 'Red Pygmy' is commonly referred to as Red Pygmy Japanese Maple. It is a small, strap leaf Japanese Maple with long, narrow, bamboo-like leaves that emerge bright red in spring, turning deep burgundy or bronze in summer before maturing to brilliant scarlet red in autumn. This slow-growing Japanese Maple only reaches 4-5 feet tall with a 3-4 foot spread in approximately ten years in zones 6-9.

Red Pygmy Japanese Maple thrives in partial sun in rich, fertile, evenly moist, well-drained soils. Morning sun and afternoon shade is best.

Planting Tips ⓘ

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH. Water regularly, but avoid overwatering. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and promote healthy growth.
