Hot Chana Japanese maple experiences dramatic color changes throughout the growing season. Its foliage emerges bright red; over time, the interior foliage softens to a dusty green, but the tips stay red. In the fall, the red makes a triumphant return. Its color show certainly turns heads! As an own-root variety (instead of a tree trunk that is grafted onto the roots of a different tree), it requires less worry. It adds a striking, low-maintenance focal point to any landscape.

Best in part sun to full sun. Any soil type will do, it's quite adaptable. Doesn't need regular pruning, but if you'd like you can shape it a bit in the springtime. Avoid any regular pruning, as this could negatively impact the beautiful shrubby habit it develops.
