$50.00

Acer Baldsmith, also known as Acer palmatum dissectum ‘Baldsmith’, is a cultivar of the Japanese maple prized for its delicate, deeply cut, lace-like foliage that emerges bright orange-red in spring, matures to green with red highlights, and then transitions to vibrant yellow, orange, and red in autumn. It typically forms a small, upright, and spreading tree, reaching about 1.5 to 3 meters in height and width. It is well-suited for smaller gardens, containers, and as a specimen plant, adding a touch of elegance and vibrant color to any landscape.
