A slender upright growing Maple with deep shiny purple foliage that turns to deep crimson red in autumn. Quite hardy and vigorous but as with all Maples will perform better with protection from harsh winds. Introduced from the Trompenburg Arboretum in Rotterdam. Deciduous.

Leaves are five lobed and a long, narrow linear shape. When they unfurl in spring they are soft orange red, then they become green, tinted with bronze orange, maturing to a good green. Then, in autumn, they turn golden yellow. Upright, vase shaped small shrub. Deciduous.

Featuring in spring, masses of burgundy tassels that adorn bare branches. Young shoots and leaves are purple maroon changing to bright green then becoming a deeper rich green as they mature. Leaves turn gold for their autumn display. A vigorous grower with smooth bark. Deciduous.

Great as shade tree for paddocks, larger parks and gardens.
