Acer palmatum 'Twombly's Red Sentinel'
Red Sentinel Columnar Japanese Maple

Zones 5-9

In the late 1970’s, Ken Twombly of Twombly’s Nursery in CT, found a compact growth shaped mutation on a red bloodgood-type of a Japanese maple at a church in eastern Connecticut. When this broom-like mutation was propagated it had a very unusual form. The name of ‘Twombly’s Red Sentinel’ which Ken chose describes this Japanese maple perfectly. These grafted trees remain tall and upright, yet fairly narrow, making it a great mid-sized flag-pole-like tree of color for small spaces.

‘Twombly’s Red Sentinel’ leafs out in the early spring as a bright red, maturing to a deeper maroon by summer. In autumn, the electric red fall color will grab your attention in the landscape. It will reach 8-10 ft in height by 3 ft wide in 15 years. Because of this shape, Ken recommends using this maple as a high class hedge.

1 gallon 'Twombly's Red Sentinel' are about 12-14 inches in height. Trees were potted up to 1 gallons in the spring and may not have completely filled out their pots.

Larger than I expected!

I ordered the one gallon and it was much larger tan anticipated! It had foliage and was expertly packed! Will definitely buy from Mr. Maple again.

Another Winner!

I have several Japanese maples from Mr. Maple and this one is a beautiful addition to my collection -- so stately!! It arrived soon after my order and was in great condition. I think it will add just the right pop of color to my garden.

I've purchased a maple tree for Mr. Maple a few years ago and it's doing great. Just received my 2nd order for Twombly's Red Sentinel and it arrived packed very well and 1 gallon is about 32" tall with nice branching. Staying safe in our garage till spring planting time. Zone5b-6
