Acer palmatum 'Twombly's Red Sentinel' is a striking columnar Japanese Maple known for its tall, slender form and vibrant red foliage that lasts through the seasons. This unique variety, one of the few columnar Japanese Maples, is perfect for brightening narrow spaces like corners, entryways, or patios, and adds a touch of elegance to any garden. In spring, the tree’s 5-7 lobed, deeply cut leaves emerge in a bright red, accompanied by small red flowers that develop into winged samaras. As the summer progresses, the foliage deepens to a rich burgundy, before blazing into a vivid fire engine red in the fall. Even in winter, the dark red branches provide visual interest, making 'Twombly's Red Sentinel' a year-round showstopper. This Japanese Maple grows at a moderate rate of 9-12 inches per year, eventually reaching about 8 feet in height and 2.5 feet in width within 10 years. Its dense branching habit and narrow shape make it an excellent choice for containers, small gardens, or as a stately hedge when planted together. 'Twombly's Red Sentinel' thrives in moist, well-draining, slightly acidic soil rich in organic matter. It can grow in full sun or partial shade, with brighter foliage in sunnier locations. This variety is well-suited to USDA hardiness zones 5-9, where it tolerates heat and sun as long as it receives adequate moisture. Regular watering is essential, especially during the first few years and during dry periods, with mulch helping to retain soil moisture and keep roots cool. Perfect for adding vertical interest and vibrant color to your landscape, 'Twombly's Red Sentinel' pairs beautifully with companion plants like azaleas, rhododendrons, hostas, and Japanese forest grass. Bring home Acer palmatum 'Twombly's Red Sentinel' today and enjoy its unique form and stunning colors in your garden for years to come.
