This
shrub's ferny leaves become deep
purple-red and fade to bronze-green in
summer. They turn bright red in fall
before dropping. Clusters of small,
reddish purple flowers appear in mid
spring.

Maple
trees include a broad spectrum of types,
sizes, shapes and foliage. They are
evergreen or deciduous, shrubby or
lofty, with deeply lobed or finely cut
leaves. All types have two-winged seeds
that look like wing nuts from the
hardware store. Grown over most of the
United States; only excessive heat,
dryness or winter cold prevents them
from thriving. The large trees provide
dense shade, and their roots take water
and nutrients from other plants, so
don't plant close to them. Water deeply
so roots grow down. Insufficient
watering will cause leaf scorch. Red,
purple, variegated or fancy-leaved
varieties need partial shade for best
color. Prune in fall. Easy to
transplant.
