Acer palmatum 'Jerre Schwartz' Dwarf Japanese Maple

Acer palmatum 'Jerre Schwartz', this exquisite cultivar showcases a compact, rounded form, ideal for smaller gardens. Its delicate foliage emerges in spring with vibrant pink-red tones, transitioning to light green by mid-summer. A secondary flush of growth returns to a bright pink-red, creating a dynamic contrast over the light green leaves. In fall, expect bright oranges to fiery reds.
