Acer palmatum 'Ed Carmine'
 Rare Japanese Maple

Zones 5-9

Acer palmatum ‘Ed Carmine’ is an upright Japanese maple renowned for its deeply-divided leaf interest and graceful form. In spring, new leaves emerge in a dazzling carmine‑red that blushes to soft pink at the margins, instantly drawing the eye. As summer settles in, those same leaves deepen to a rich, glossy green, creating a tranquil backdrop for any garden setting. With maturity, ‘Ed Carmine’ develops a rounded canopy that can reach approximately 12 feet tall and 10 feet wide, although it typically measures around 8 feet by 7 feet after ten years—perfectly sized for specimen plantings or container accents. In addition to its stunning foliage, this cultivar produces abundant winged samaras, making it an excellent choice for seed collection and propagation. When autumn arrives, its foliage transforms once more into a brilliant scarlet blaze, turning every landscape into a fiery display. Hardy in zones 5 through 9 and valued for its reliable growth rate, ‘Ed Carmine’ makes an exceptional focal point for collectors and first‑time Japanese maple enthusiasts alike.
