Acer palmatum 'Bloody Talons' Rare Dwarf Japanese Maple Zones 5-9 ‘Bloody Talons’ is a truly unique dwarf Japanese maple with an exceptionally slow growth rate, reaching approximately 3 feet tall and wide in 20 years. This makes it one of the slowest-growing Japanese maples available. What sets ‘Bloody Talons’ apart is its distinctive foliage—the leaves cup downward, resembling sharp talons. In spring, they emerge green with deep red tips, creating a dramatic effect that looks like blood dripping from claws. As fall arrives, the tree transforms into fiery shades of bright red to deep maroon, adding to its striking appearance. It’s normal for ‘Bloody Talons’ to develop a bulbous growth at the graft, which is simply part of its unique character. This exceptional dwarf variety is a new introduction by Talon Buchholz of Buchholz Nursery in Oregon, making it a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts alike. 📦 Important Notes: Sold As Is: The tree pictured is the exact tree you will receive.
