AREA 51 COLLECTION™ – PLANTS THAT ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD

‘Hot Rod’ is one of the most exciting introductions in our Heatseekers Series™, a special group of Japanese maples selected for exceptional heat and sun tolerance in the South.

This rare hybrid boasts bright yellow bark, making it a standout even in the dormant season. In spring, ‘Hot Rod’ explodes with a pink-red flush of new growth, adding vibrant color to the landscape. Through the summer, it maintains its vigor and resilience, thriving where many Japanese maples struggle under heat stress.

With its unique bark color, reliable performance in warmer zones, and striking seasonal displays, ‘Hot Rod’ is a true collector’s maple and a breakthrough for gardeners in hot climates.

'Hot Rod' is part of our Heatseekers Series™ of Heat Tolerant Japanese maples for the South.

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.
