Specimen Japanese Maple 'Stella Rossa' (Acer palmatum dissectum) | Large 3 Gallon, 3ft x 4ft Wide LOCAL PICKUP ONLY

Add an instant focal point to your garden with this beautifully structured, mature 'Stella Rossa' (Red Star) Laceleaf Japanese Maple. Skip the wait of a tiny mail order starter this specimen is fully established, beautifully branched, and ready to plant for immediate impact.

'Stella Rossa' is a spectacular dwarf weeping variety celebrated for its intricate, skeleton like lace leaves and outstanding color resilience. While other red maples "green out" during the peak heat of summer, 'Stella Rossa' maintains a gorgeous, multi-toned deep crimson and ruby hue before turning a brilliant fiery orange-red in the fall.

📐 Specimen Dimensions & Details

• Size: Approximately 3 feet tall by 4 feet wide (magnificent, wide weeping umbrella form).

• Container Size: 3-Gallon pot.

• Condition: Robust root system, healthy canopy, and excellent branch structure.

📋 Plant Specs & Care Quick-Guide

• Growth Habit: Low, cascading, mounding/weeping structure.

• Hardiness Zones: USDA Zones 5 – 9.

• Sunlight: Full sun to partial shade (performs beautifully with morning sun and afternoon filtered shade).

• Soil: Prefers rich, moist, well-drained, acidic soil.

💡 Why 'Stella Rossa' Stands Out

• Superior Summer Color: Holds its intense red pigmentation much better through high summer heat than older cultivars like 'Crimson Queen'.

• Stunning Architecture: The twisting, weeping branches create a dramatic winter silhouette long after the autumn leaves have dropped.

• Perfect Landscape Scale: Reaching a mature size of roughly 4–5 feet tall and slightly wider over 10 years, it is the ultimate choice for entryways, patio borders, rock gardens, or accent beds.
