Bring glowing color and elegant structure to your landscape with this live Fireglow Japanese Maple, a highly prized upright red maple known for its vivid foliage and excellent heat tolerance. Acer palmatum ‘Fireglow’ produces brilliant bright red spring leaves that mature into rich maroon tones throughout summer while maintaining a luminous red glow when sunlight filters through the canopy. In autumn, the foliage transforms into fiery shades of red and orange, creating a spectacular seasonal display.

More compact than many upright red Japanese maples, Fireglow is ideal for patios, small gardens, entryways, and ornamental focal points where bold color is desired without overwhelming the space. Hardy, adaptable, and easy to grow, this beautiful maple performs well in both warm southern climates and cooler northern regions.
