Acer palmatum 'Hubbs Red Willow' Japanese Maple

Acer palmatum 'Hubbs Red Willow' is an outstanding bamboo-leaf Japanese maple prized for its vibrant red foliage and graceful, willow-like appearance.

In early spring, the narrow, string-like leaves emerge bright red, creating an elegant bamboo-like appearance.
