Acer palmatum 'Cricket'
Red Narrow Growing Cricket Japanese Maple

Zones 5-9


'Cricket' is narrow growing Japanese maple that was found as a mutation off of the cultivar 'Fireglow' by our good friend, Elizabeth Mundy. This narrow growing Japanese maple has the color everyone loves of 'Fireglow'. In the spring, 'Cricket' is a bright red, developing to a maroon with a glowing effect in the sun. Fall color is a fiery red. We expect 'Cricket' to reach 8-10 ft in 10 years by 3-4 ft in width. 

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.

Has absolutely brilliant, magenta red leaves in the spring

I really like this little gem. It's spring color pops with bright pink/red leaves and due to its size, I can fit it anywhere in my garden. It takes southeastern heat and sun like a champ with no burning. It is August, receiving full sun from 9AM to 12PM and there is not a single leaf that has any scorch. It does seem to be a slow grower, which is good and bad and my biggest issue is that it leafs out early for me. So if you get a late frost, you will miss out on the spring fireworks and it will look like crap for awhile.
