The Proven Winners® Hot Chana® Japanese maple is a brand new dwarf red maple tree that is stunning to see with its seasonal color progression! The shifting colors through the seasons make it a visually dynamic specimen. In spring it presents striking new red leaves, then in summer it takes on two-toned foliage (dusty green interior + red growth) and finally in fall it ends with brilliant scarlet red foliage. Growing at 8-15’ tall, it’s completely versatile and manageable in the landscape with its upright form and habit without the threat of it getting too large. Also, the tree is its own-root variety (not grafted) meaning greater stability, graft failure, and fewer problems with unwanted suckers. Highly adaptable to different garden settings and works as a specimen and great focal point, container tree, or in the perennial garden or border. It’s relatively compact with low maintenance and extremely eye-catching around the home. In very hot climates, part sun might be beneficial to reduce leaf scorching.
