Acer shirasawanum 'Purple Thunder'
Red Japanese Maple

Zones 5-9

'Purple Thunder' is a newer selection of shirasawanum hybrid that was selected by Talon Buchholz for its dark foliage that cup downward. 'Purple Thunder' turns to a bright fiery red in the fall. 'Purple Thunder' is new, but we expect 'Purple Thunder' to reach 12-15 ft in height in 10 years.

Limited Quantities Available !! As we have over a thousand cultivars of Japanese maples, we often do not have many of each cultivar. We recommend that you buy the Japanese maples you want immediately as we often sell out of certain selections.
