Acer palmatum 'Oregon Sunset' Japanese Maple
Acer palmatum 'Oregon Sunset'
Oregon Sunset Japanese Maple
Zones 5-9
'Oregon Sunset' leafs out in the early spring with large rounded plum colored leaves and a growth habit with lots of lateral yet slightly upright branching. This forms a beautiful mid-sized spreading Japanese maple reaching about 7 ft in height by 10 ft wide in 20 years. This size and shape makes this Japanese maple an ideal Japanese maple for small garden spaces. Fall colors are the colors of a sunset, brilliant shades of orange & red.
If you want an even smaller tree in height trim out the central leader at an early age creating a wide-spreading red Japanese maple with a large palmate leaf. Examples of this can be seen at the JC Raulston Arboretum at NC State. This gives a great alternative and provides a lot of color while not blocking vision elsewhere in the garden. For best growth, we recommend protection from the hot afternoon sun.
I have order 20 new maples in the last month from Mr. Maples. They were all packaged with great care and all but one arrived safely. That one was quickly and with little to NO stress on my end replaced. I really appreciate the care that they give their customers and plant material. working in the industry myself for over 30 years I trust them to pick out a good specimen and they have always done a great job.
Great produce. Awesome service. Quick response to a question. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with Mr. Maple.

Tree arrived in good shape and packaged well. Not many leaves, but it is fall and I look forward to seeing it in spring!
