Plant Details

Alpenglow® is a red-leafed, upright hybrid maple that is hardy down to –30 F. In spring, merlot leaves dance on arching branches; translucent veins help them catch the light and glow. The deep red mellows to a burnished bronze in summer and finally turns to blazing orange and red in fall. A refined oval habit and sturdy branching make this a majestic centerpiece that you can rely on for a colorful show year after year. Our hybrid maples have proven to be resilient trees that can handle whatever challenges nature throws at them. 'INAG-E61' is a cross between Acer palmatum and Acer pseudosieboldianum. It originated from a tree breeding program started in 1997 with the goal of expanding the cold tolerance range of Japanese Maple trees to include zone 4.
