Perfect for PNW gardens, the Acer palmatum ‘Skeeter’s Broom’ Japanese Maple offers bold color in a compact, upright form. A naturally occurring dwarf sport of ‘Bloodgood,’ this variety brings the same rich red foliage on a much smaller scale, making it an excellent choice for small gardens, patios, containers, or tight spaces where full-sized Japanese maples won’t fit. Hardy and dependable, ‘Skeeter’s Broom’ performs beautifully in our regional climate while delivering dramatic seasonal interest.
