Skeeters Broom is a wonderful Japanese maple to have. It’s columnar-esque growth habits make it extremely versatile in any garden or landscape. It is a witches broom, meaning it will stay compact. It leafs out bright red in spring and maturing into a deep maroon during the summer. Autumn colors are bright bright red. Skeeters broom can handle quite a bit of sun. In the southern regions of the US we recommend some afternoon shade. Northern regions can extend the sunlight. Skeeters Broom can reach 12’ in 15 years.
