An aristocrat among Japanese maples and in the garden, ‘Red Dawn’ is a spectacular interspecies hybrid between Acer shirsawanum (Full Moon Maple) and Acer palmatum. The almost translucent leaves of this true purple-red maple have long lobes that emerge with brilliant purple-red and lavender shades in spring, transitioning to olive green shades with purple undertones. With the arrival of cooler temperatures in the fall, the leaves turn a deep purple and transition to incredibly brilliant crimson-red shades, with both colors present on the tree simultaneously, creating a truly stunning effect. An abundant seed set of red samaras adds to the overall appeal during summer. Red Dawn is excellent for growing in garden beds or large containers.
