Description
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.
Because of its modest size—reaching approximately 3 meters tall and 1 meter wide—this tree is ideal for smaller gardens, cozy courtyards, or decorative large pots. Moreover, it thrives best in moist, well-drained soil and prefers a sheltered position to protect its delicate foliage.
Whether you’re designing a compact landscape or adding a splash of colour to a patio, ‘Skeeter’s Broom’ offers year-round interest with minimal space requirements.
