Acer palmatum 'Fireglow' Japanese Maple
Acer palmatum 'Fireglow'
Excellent Bright Red 'Fireglow' Japanese Maple
Zones 5-9
'Fireglow' is an excellent red upright Japanese maple tree that reaches 10-12 ft in 15 years. 'Fireglow' leafs out as a bright red, before maturing to a deep maroon for the summer. 'Fireglow' will get an orange-red glow to the back side of the leaf when grown in the sun, giving the tree a brighter appearance and making it glow, when looking up from below. 'Fireglow' turns to a brighter fiery red in the fall.
The 'Fireglow' Japanese maple is an excellent heat tolerant red selection that can perform well in the South as well as the colder climates of the North. Being a smaller mid-sized tree, 'Fireglow' can provide color in the landscape while easily keeping a smaller stature than other comparable red upright Japanese maples trees. 'Fireglow' is one of the most desired Japanese maples.
I liked the way it was packaged and it was delivered the next day. Didn't know it wasn't hardened off and it has a little sun damage but that's my fault. It's a gorgeous and healthy little tree and can't wait until it grows.
Love my new Fireglow Japanese maple! Tall, healthy tree for a 1 gal pot, and arrived in great condition with 4 other trees— great packing job. Keep up great work - love videos, too!
Premature but looks very healthy and pretty so far
Prompt service, ordered several trees and they arrived in a matter of days. Great selections too for anyone looking for more exotic trees that can’t be found at local nurseries.
I picked up a 3 gallon fireglow at the open house that was bigger than most 7 gallons I have seen in box stores. It has been handling full sun in SE Geeorgia like a champ. If you are looking for an upright red, but want something a bit different than what is usually available at most nurseries, this will not disappoint. The red is a bit less purple than emperor 1(I have both in my front yard), so it adds another shade of color to the garden. I paired mine with a Summer Gold and they look great together.
