The Rhode Island Red Japanese MapleThe Rhode Island Red Japanese Maple delivers standout color in a compact form, offering dramatic shifts in foliage from season to season. Bright red spring leaves deepen to rich burgundy in summer, and by fall, they blaze orange-red before dropping—making this semi-dwarf maple a showstopper in any landscape. With a rounded, upright habit and densely branched form, it's a smart choice for space-conscious gardeners, patios, or container plantings.
Striking Foliage from Spring Through Fall
Each season brings a new color story. Spring begins with bright red leaves that mature into a deep, almost wine-colored burgundy. In autumn, the foliage shifts again—this time to vivid orange-red that lights up the landscape.
Compact Tree for Versatile Placement
With its broad, dome-like form and slow growth habit (around 6 feet tall and wide in 10 years), this tree adds refined structure to garden beds, borders, and containers without crowding nearby plantings. It’s a perfect choice for urban gardens or areas where space is at a premium.
Stands Up to Summer Sun and Heat
Unlike some red-leaf Japanese maples that fade in strong sun, Rhode Island Red keeps its color intact. It thrives in full sun to part shade and is well-suited to climates where summers run hot, making it more versatile than many similar varieties.
Adds Visual Interest Even After Leaf Drop
While it loses its leaves in winter, this tree still earns its place in the landscape. The fine branching and purple-tinged stems provide subtle texture and color contrast against snow or dormant beds.
