Acer palmatum 'Jet Black'Always popular, foliage that is dark burgundy, approaching black, makes this Japanese maple a real winner! Introduced by the Buchholz nursery in Oregon, this tree will grow to 12 ft tall and wide in 10 years with a broad canopy. We are impressed with the very dark purple leaves that come out in spring, then turn to red purple in summer, followed by scarlet red in fall. Discovered and introduced by the Buchholz nursery in Oregon. Hardy to zone 5.
