The search for the Fountain of Youth is over! You can now put a 'Fountain of Youth' in your very own garden! Out of the Area 51 Collection at MrMaple, we now introduce 'Fountain of Youth'.
'Fountain of Youth' has longer finger-like green leaves that are displayed on heavily cascading branching. In the spring, new growth flushes may be salmon pink, to chartreuse green with a salmon pink border to the leaves. During the summer, the leaves turn to a darker green. 'Fountain of Youth' turns to bright fiery reds in the fall. We recommend staking 'Fountain of Youth' up to about 6 ft in height, which will reach about 4 ft in width in 10 years. 'Fountain of Youth' is fairly vigorous and easy to grow. 'Fountain of Youth' makes a great plant to use in a container or to use in the landscape. 'Fountain of Youth' was found as a chance seedling from a seedling from the Legacy of ‘Nakakamado Weeping’ at our nursery. This is a fun plant that you are sure to love in your garden.
Customer Reviews
I am always impressed how Mr. Maple packages and ships their trees. As usual, "Fountain of Youth" arrived safe and sound. I planted it in a pot. She seems very happy at the moment. Even though all of the leaves are gone, it is still a pretty tree just because of the shape. Hope springs eternal as I am already looking forward to spring of next year.
I love my fountain of youth plant. It is a nice size. I put it in a hanging basket. Can’t wait to watch it grow!
Great packaging and you really can’t beat the price. I will be a returning customer for sure. Thank you for making my property special.
I hate to even open the emails I get from Mr.Maple. It’s like getting an advertisement from your local drug dealer. Everything you see makes you want it!
I am totally addicted and I always want more.
This latest beauty is a stunner straight out of the box!!! If you didn’t get you one you missed out!!!
Looks great and growing like crazy.
