Acer Crimson Sentry 50lt

Spectacular deep burgundy foliage with a beautiful upright growth habit!

Acer ‘Crimson Sentry’ is a stunning deciduous ornamental maple admired for its rich, deep crimson-purple foliage and compact, upright growth habit.

In spring, its beautiful dark red leaves emerge, creating a spectacular display that continues throughout summer. As autumn arrives, the foliage develops rich bronze and reddish tones before falling for winter.

With its naturally narrow, columnar shape, Crimson Sentry is an excellent choice for feature planting, smaller gardens, driveways and landscaped areas where a striking ornamental tree is desired.

Its dramatic foliage provides a wonderful contrast against green-leaved plants, making it a standout feature in any garden.
