Acer palmatum 'Beni hagoromo' is a captivating Japanese maple cultivar prized for its unique leaf shape and vibrant color. The foliage resembles delicate, elongated feathers or lace, emerging in vibrant shades of red in spring and gradually transitioning to rich deep red or maroon hues through summer. In fall, the tree bursts into fiery tones of crimson and scarlet, making it a striking focal point for any garden or landscape. Compact in size, 'Beni hagoromo' is ideal for smaller gardens, container planting, or as a feature in Japanese-inspired gardens. Its graceful, upright habit adds elegance to a wide range of settings.
