.
Common name: Red Dawn Shirasawa maple
Family: Aceraceae (maple family)
Distribution: Species native to Japan
Hardiness: USDA Zone 5
Life form: Deciduous tree
Comments: Thought by some to be a hybrid, this small deciduous tree grows vigorously to 8' tall and 4' wide in 10 years, has deeply cut leaves that are purple-red in spring, later turning to purple-green. The reddish tinged leaves are somewhat larger than other cultivars and have elongated lobes. Makes a nice specimen or accent plant.
