Heartbeat Japanese Maple
Acer palmatum 'Heartbeat'
Acer palmatum 'Heartbeat' is a beautiful and unique cultivar of the Japanese maple tree, known for its striking foliage and upright habit. The leaves emerge in the spring with a pinkish-red color and are shaped like a heart, hence the name 'Heartbeat.' As the season progresses, the leaves mature to a bright green with pink edges, creating a stunning contrast. In the fall, the leaves turn a bright red or orange before dropping. This cultivar has an upright, vase-shaped habit and can grow up to 10 feet in height and 6 feet in width over several years, making it an excellent choice for adding some height and drama to smaller landscapes or as a specimen tree. It is hardy in USDA zones 5 to 8 and prefers moist, well-drained soils and partial shade to full sun. 'Heartbeat' is highly prized by gardeners and landscapers for its unique and beautiful foliage, adding a touch of elegance and charm to any landscape.
