‘Red Baron’ lives up to its commanding name with bold colours and strong upright growth that creates impact in any garden setting.
The show begins in spring when the leaves emerge in deep, rich burgundy tones that make a striking early season statement. As summer progresses, the foliage transforms into an interesting blend of green with distinctive copper and orange overtones, maintaining visual interest through the warmer months.
The autumn finale is particularly spectacular, with the leaves developing through various intense purple shades. This gradual colour transformation creates an ever-changing display that holds interest well into the season.
Growing to 8-12 feet over time, this variety develops a strong upright form that makes it perfect for creating vertical accent points in gardens or adding structure to mixed borders. Its substantial size and dramatic colours make it an excellent choice for statement planting.
‘Red Baron’ combines the elegant form typical of Japanese maples with bold colouration that sets it apart from more subtle varieties. It’s particularly effective when positioned where its changing colours can be appreciated throughout the seasons.
This variety makes an excellent specimen tree, offering the perfect balance of dramatic impact and refined elegance that can anchor any landscape design.
