Acer palmatum x shirasawanum ‘Trompenburg' Japanese Maple
Acer palmatum 'Trompenburg'
Red Trompenburg Japanese Maple
Zones 5-9
‘Trompenburg’ is an upright red Japanese maple that has a very unique leaf structure. Many even consider this a hybrid with Acer shirasawanum. The large leaf curls under creating a sharp hand-like effect. The curling leaf is very different and adds a very different look to an upright red. The early spring color is a very deep burgundy-red. ‘Trompenburg’ holds its deep red color extremely well though the entire summer even in full sun. The fall color of this Japanese maple is a scarlet red.
‘Trompenburg’ is a very vigorous Japanese maple tree and can grow 9 to 10 inches a year. The height can reach 15-22 ft over time and the mature shape is vase-like in structure. This amazing cultivar adds a very exotic new look to any location. If you are looking for an upright red that has a lot of character, then ‘Trompenburg’ is a great choice for you.

Customer Reviews
Have had this maple planted over a year in Zone 7, morning sun/afternoon shade. Holds color very well and a beautifully shaped tree and leaf - nice contrast with the Orange Dream and Butterfly maples nearby. Seems to be thriving quite nicely with little effort at this point.
I bought 2 Trompenburg Maple Tree in September 2024. They were delivered in good condition and healthy. Because they were small and fragile. I planted them carefully at the beginning of my driveway, on each side. And then, winter came here in zone 6, Chester, NY. I thought they won't make it. The cold wind was so strong, we had a lot of snow, 2 weeks of freeze and of course, lots of hungry deer. But finally spring arrived and to my surprise both of them survived and now are thriving and full with gorgeous leaves. Each day new growth. Thank you!
