Twombly’s Red Sentinel Japanese Maple

Acer palmatum 'Twombly's Red Sentinel'

After much hemming and hawing (I think that’s how you spell that?), I finally planted this beautiful, nearly mature Twombly’s Red Sentinal next to our giant blue atlas cedar. I intend to create a new planting bed around this tree but it currently looks a bit randomly stuck in the lawn. I’m hoping the recent heat waves ebb soon and I have renewed energy for digging in super dry ground around established tree roots.

    Nursery Tag

    Water regularly. Slow growing 10 - 15ft tall, 6 - 8 feet wide.
