A nice spring foliage of reddish-purple becoming deeper in the summer, and brilliant scarlet autumn colour make this a wonderful plant all year round. Quick growing when young but slowing with age. One of the more hardy forms of the maples. Will quickly grow to 2m(6') in five years. Best in shelter.
