Acer palmatum 'Sara D'
Dwarf Red Witch’s Broom Japanese Maple
Zones 5–9

‘Sara D’ is a rare and charming dwarf Japanese maple, prized for its compact, rounded habit and rich brick-red foliage. This slow-growing witch’s broom cultivar typically reaches about 3 ft tall and 3 ft wide in 10 years, making it an excellent choice for small garden spaces, patio containers, rock gardens, or bonsai-style displays. In spring, its small, rounded leaves emerge a deep brick red, holding their color well into summer before transitioning to a vibrant red in the fall. Though naturally compact, ‘Sara D’ is often staked to encourage a more upright, elegant form that adds vertical interest while maintaining its tidy structure. With a dense growth habit and brilliant seasonal color, ‘Sara D’ delivers lasting visual impact in a petite package—an ideal specimen for collectors and Japanese maple enthusiasts seeking beauty in small spaces.
