Maple Jack Frost Alpenglow #6

Alepnglow Maple, a Japanese-Korean maple hybrid, is primarily valued in the landscape for its ornamental upright and spreading habit of growth. It has attractive bronze deciduous foliage which emerges wine-red in spring. The lobed palmate leaves are highly ornamental and turn outstanding shades of scarlet and orange in the fall.

It is a deciduous tree with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its average texture blends into the landscape, but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition. This is a relatively low maintenance tree, and should only be pruned in summer after the leaves have fully developed, as it may ‘bleed’ sap if pruned in late winter or early spring.
