Acer palmatum 'Hubbs Red Willow'

'Hubbs Red Willow' aka "Willow Leaf" Japanese Maple

Zones 5-9

'Hubb's Red Willow' is an excellent bamboo linearilobum Japanese maple selection introduced by the late Dick Wolff of Red Maple Nursery of Pennsylvania. It leafs out in the early spring with bright red string-like leaves that give the appearance of bamboo. This selection is extremely vigorous for a Japanese maple reaching 10-12 ft in about 10 -12 years.

As the leaf matures it widens slightly and changes to a deeper maroon. This Japanese maple turns to a brilliant shade of crimson red in the fall. 'Hubb's Red Willow' is excellent for bringing that bamboo oriental feel to your garden while providing great contrast with its amazing red color. This is a perfect mid-sized Japanese maple for any garden.

This maple has been called 'Willowleaf' and incorrectly known under the name "Hupp's Red Willow". This selection was named after the late Elwood Hubb of Riverton, New Jersey.
