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.
Easily grown in moist, organically rich, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Prefers lightly sun dappled part shade. Avoid hot and dry sites. Leaves may scorch in full sun in hot southern summers. Plant in a location protected from strong winds. (Courtesy of the Missouri Botanical Garden Plant Finder)
