Acer palmatum 'Trompenburg'

Distinctive palmate leaves with slender, curved leaflets that resemble the form of a dragon's paw as they emerge. New leaves are a fiery red in spring, mature to a to deep burgundy, then turn a crimson-red in fall. A classic small specimen or accent that provides phenomenal contrast to green-leafed plants. Deciduous.
