Acer japonicum 'Aka omote' Japanese Maple
Acer japonicum 'Aka omote'
Ruby Red Full Moon Japanese Maple
Zones 5-9
'Aka omote' is a beautiful full moon Japanese maple. New growth is a gorgeous orange-red over top of dark green. The rounded leaves of this Acer japonicum selection have made some label it as Acer shirasawanum. 'Aka omote' turns to a brilliant ruby red in the fall, which is where some have called it "Ruby Red". 'Aka omote' may reach 12-14 ft in 15 years. Give 'Aka omote' protection from the hot afternoon sun. 'Aka omote' was introduced in Japan in 1988.
Limited Quantities Available !! As we have over a thousand cultivars of Japanese maples, we often do not have many of each cultivar. We recommend that you buy the Japanese maples you want immediately as we often sell out of certain selections.
Customer Reviews
Mr Maple continues to deliver awesome Japanese maples ! Love the the leaf size and color on this tree! Arrived in great condition!
Gotta love the great color Japonicums give you. Really good size on this one gallon, pushing 4ft and got it for 35$, you can't beat that!
Can't wait to get it in the ground and enjoy it for many years to come. PNW zone 8B
My Omote Japanese Maple came beautifully boxed, Although, because the tree was so tall, it had to be bent over to get it into the box. I ordered a lovely colored pot in which to plant the Omote so it will develop more roots, and I will keep it on my protected deck until Spring Planting. The Japanese Tree still has its leaves, and I am enjoying the beautiful combination of the planted Omote in the complimentary, colored container. As the Fall Days continue, the Omote will straighten up to follow the sun. I pray everyone reading this review will follow the Son.
