Indian Summer | The Collector's Corner

Acer japonicum 'Indian Summer'

The majestic 'Indian Summer' Japanese maple is an impressive sight in full moon. Its striking green leaves are sizable and can reach the size of a dinner plate. In summer, its new growth is flushed with pink-red, creating an even more beautiful contrast against the deep green foliage. When autumn arrives, its foliage transforms into an eye-catching mix of bright yellows and oranges, with occasional bursts of red. With proper care and maintenance, 'Indian Summer' can reach 8-10 feet in height within just 15 years.
