- Acer palmatum ‘Skeeter’s Broom’ is a deciduous, compact Japanese maple known for its narrow, upright growth habit and vibrant seasonal colour. In early spring, its new foliage emerges as a brilliant red. As summer arrives, the leaves deepen into a deep salmon-red, and by autumn, they transform into a vivid scarlet, creating a stunning visual display. Interestingly, the name ‘Skeeter’s Broom’ originates from a natural mutation of the well-known ‘Acer Bloodgood’ variety. This unique cultivar was discovered by Mr. Skeeter Rodd at a nursery in Pennsylvania, USA—hence the name.
