Acer Palmatum 'Emperor 1' Heat Tolerant Red - Specimen in the Garden! - JAPANESE MAPLES

The 'Emperor One,' also known as the Red Emperor, is a standout variety of Japanese maple introduced by Dick Wolfe of Red Maple Nurseries. This upright, mid-sized tree is celebrated for its striking red foliage and exceptional heat tolerance, making it suitable for both cooler and hotter climates. It’s particularly valued for its late leaf-out, which helps it avoid frost damage in colder areas and makes it resilient in warmer regions. Emperor One holds its vibrant red color well throughout the growing season and showcases brilliant fire-engine red fall foliage. Its glossy green underside adds a unique touch, enhancing its visual appeal. This tree grows at a moderate pace and maintains a rounded shape, making it a popular choice for adding dramatic color and structure to gardens. For more insights into its features and history, you can explore detailed videos and interviews on the Mr. Maple Show.
