Acer palmatum ‘Skeeter’s Broom’ is a compact, upright Japanese maple known for its striking red foliage and narrow, vase-like growth habit. A sport of the popular ‘Bloodgood’ variety, it retains deep red leaves throughout the growing season before turning a brilliant crimson in autumn. Its smaller size makes it ideal for smaller gardens, patios, or containers, while its strong, vertical branching structure adds architectural interest. With excellent cold tolerance and minimal maintenance needs, Acer palmatum ‘Skeeter’s Broom’ is a fantastic choice for adding vibrant color and elegance to any landscape.
