Acer palmatum 'Red Cloud'

Red Japanese Maple

Zones 5-9

'Red Cloud' is one of Talon Buchholz's first introductions. It was a chance seedling from 'Scolopendrifolium' from Dr. Corbin's garden. Believe it or not, 'Red Cloud' was sister seedling found in the same flat as 'Fairy Hair'. 'Red Cloud' leafs out in the spring with a cherry red color and strap-like linearilobum style leaves. Fall color is a bright orange-red. The habit is more upright and rounded, which gave it the 'Red Cloud' name. 'Red Cloud' may reach 8 ft in height in 10 years.

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.
