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.
Very good price for 2 gallons and size of the tree. Arrived healthy and undamaged.
This is my third order and every time it is spot on. Beautiful trees, packaged well, and a great delivery time. Awesome yet again.
Tree arrived heathy without issues. I placed it in the shade for a few days and then planted it in front of a large Katsura tree, looks great in its new home.
First, I would like to express my thanks to the Mr. Maple Team. Their help in explaining care and their experience was priceless! Not to mention how expedient, every person I spoke with or emailed, got back to me with answers to any of my concerns; which were few.
So onto my story of meeting my 2nd love:
This magnificent tree is our front gardens star! It may take 10 years for the tree to reach its full glory and maturity but watching it grow will be our greatest joy. I fell in love with Acer Palmatum “Oregon Sunset” when I first laid eyes upon her. I believe my Wife was kind of jealous. There’s just something about all those unusual curves, I find so attractive lol! Thank you Mr. Maple for delivering my tree happy, healthy and safely packed. Looking forward to seeing many more of TWO sunsets in our lives, one in Georgia and the other, our Magnificent, “Oregon Sunset!”
Tree arrived in great condition. Good size and buds ready to pop. It is now leafed out in 10 days. I will definitely buy more trees from MrMaple.
