Acer palmatum 'Twombly's Red Sentinel' Columnar Japanese MapleAcer palmatum 'Twombly's Red Sentinel' Red Sentinel Columnar Japanese Maple Zones 5 9 In the late 1970s, Ken Twombly of Twomblys Nursery in CT, found a compact growth shaped mutation on a red bloodgood type of a Japanese maple at a church in eastern Connecticut. When this broom like mutation was propagated it had a very unusual form. The name of Twomblys Red Sentinel which Ken chose describes this Japanese maple perfectly. These grafted trees remain

giving great contrast with the leaves

The overall shape is very much like a typical Japanese maple with yellow to orange fall color

Fall colors are brilliant shades of golden orange

yet complex

An amazing fall color change highlights this weeping maple form

'Nana horizontalis' is a dwarf weeping ginkgo tree that will show off in any garden

This selection is much more vigorous and narrower in habit

While other laceleaf selections may hold that red color

but only 6-8 ft in 15 years by 6 ft in width

This Japanese maple tree grows well in sun or filtered light

'Horizontalis' originated at Leiden Botanic Gardens in the Netherlands

where this selection gets its name
