Description

Acer palmatum ‘Emperor 1’, previously known as ‘Red Emperor’, is a fabulous purple form that was discovered in the USA in the early 1990s.  Similar to ‘Bloodgood’, this cultivar makes a lovely upright tree that holds its colour well through the summer before turning scarlet in the autumn.  As with all red/purple Japanese Maples, position in a sunny spot to ensure best colouring and strong growth.  Should reach around 3 to 4 metres in twenty years or so.  A must-have tree.
