Acer Morning Starburst™
Hardier than a Japanese maple.
Have you ever wanted a beautiful Japanese maple, but thought you lived in a colder climate and could not have one due to hardiness? This is the maple for you. Morning Starburst is a vine maple hybrid with amazingly hardy tendencies, yet is it heat and humidity tolerant. The fall color on this plant rivals the best Japanese maples and the large leaves, when in their autumnal glory put on quite a show. This is also an incredibly vigorous plant that produces near-perfect specimens n the field and in the garden.
