Acers can be deciduous trees or large shrubs with paired leaves and small flowers followed by fruit. ‘Skeeter’s Broom’ forms a distinctive slender, upright specimen tree. It will be covered with small, vibrant red leaves in the spring that deepen to purple-red throughout the summer, and sparking a fiery red hue in autumn. Happy to be planted in a large container or in a mixed bed, this specimen plant is sure to impress anywhere.
