Acer palmatum ‘Sherwood Elfin’ – Rare Dwarf Japanese Maple – Compact Red Form – Zones 5–9 Acer palmatum ‘Sherwood Elfin’ is a rare and highly collectible dwarf Japanese maple, prized for its compact size, rich red foliage, and excellent heat tolerance. Unlike many similar varieties, ‘Sherwood Elfin’ is not a laceleaf, but a true dwarf matsumurae-type. Think of it as a smaller, denser version of ‘Burgundy Lace’, with a refined structure that makes it ideal for tight spaces, containers, or layered plantings. This cultivar originated as a chance seedling from ‘Sherwood Flame’, inheriting its strong red coloration while developing a naturally dwarf habit—hence the name “Elfin.” In early spring, foliage emerges a bright red, quickly deepening into a rich maroon that holds well through the growing season. In fall, it finishes with a brilliant crimson red display, adding bold seasonal impact. One of the standout features of ‘Sherwood Elfin’ is its exceptional heat tolerance. Selected in Alabama and successfully trialed in the deep South—including central Florida—this variety performs reliably even in warmer climates where many Japanese maples struggle. 📦 Important Notes: Sold As Is: The tree pictured is the exact tree you will receive.
