This red dwarf Japanese Maple tree has gorgeous maroon leaves and a unique, narrow, upright shape. Twombly's Red Sentinel Japanese Maple is a great choice for areas of the garden where space is limited. More compact and columnar than both 'Bloodgood' and 'Emperor I' varieties, this Red Japanese Maple is an excellent option even beside a building, or close to a walkway.

The very dense foliage really showcases its lovely colour along the entire height of the tree, as it even has leaves near its base. New leaves emerge red in the spring. The strong maroon colour lasts throughout the summer, turning to a brilliant pink-red in the autumn. Acer palmatum 'Twombly's Red Sentinel' is a slow growing, low maintenance option for any garden, and ideal for narrow spaces, patios, and entry ways.
