Product Description
Oregon Sunset Japanese Maple is a compact, spreading cultivar prized for its rich foliage and beautiful seasonal color. Large, rounded leaves emerge a soft plum-red in spring and deepen to a darker plum and burgundy-red through the growing season. Its dense lateral branching creates a naturally broad, rounded form that works especially well in smaller landscapes.
In fall, 'Oregon Sunset' lives up to its name with brilliant shades of orange and red. Its relatively compact size, broad shape, and dependable color make it an excellent specimen for garden beds, patios, and Japanese maple collections. Protection from hot afternoon sun is recommended in warmer climates.

Japanese Maple Care
Japanese maples thrive in well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Most varieties prefer morning sun with protection from intense afternoon heat, especially in warmer climates. Water deeply when needed, allowing the soil to remain moist but never waterlogged. For the best results, always consider the specific sun, size, and growing information listed in the Tree Details above.
