Acer palmatum 'Peridot Flame' (CG)

This deciduous tree showcases a vibrant display with its deeply lobed leaves that emerge in a stunning flame-like orange in the spring, gradually maturing to a lush green in the summer before turning a brilliant red in the fall. With a multi-stemmed, graceful habit, it thrives in hardiness zones 5 through 8, favoring partial shade and well-drained, moist soils. It reaches a mature height of 10 to 15 feet. With a delicate, upright shape, it is moderately resistant to deer. While it does not bear fruit, this cultivar is prized for its dynamic landscape presence. It enjoys a cool, temperate climate and benefits from mulching to maintain consistent soil moisture. The Peridot Flame is a spectacular choice for adding a touch of elegance to gardens and landscapes.
