Acer platanoides ‘Crimson Sentry’ is a compact Norway maple with a dense, upright shape. Its purple-maroon leaves remain colorful throughout the growing season before developing reddish-bronze tones in the fall. Its narrower growth habit makes it useful where a traditional maple would become too large.
This section shows how the plant will fit into your yard and into your life.
