Acer Hot Chana™ Japanese Maple

Acer HOT CHANA™ delivers an extraordinary foliage display that transforms throughout the growing season. Bright red spring leaves emerge with remarkable intensity before softening to dusty green accented with red tipped new growth in summer. As autumn arrives, the foliage ignites into brilliant scarlet red, creating a dramatic finale. Continuous flushes of fresh red growth at the branch tips ensure color remains a defining feature from spring through fall, making this Japanese maple a standout focal point in the landscape.

Unlike many Japanese maples, HOT CHANA™ is grown on its own roots rather than grafted stock, offering gardeners greater confidence in long term performance and winter survival. Its naturally shrubby upright habit develops beautifully with minimal intervention, making it an excellent specimen tree for landscapes large and small. Part of the Proven Winners ornamental tree collection, this fast growing selection offers exceptional seasonal color and strong garden presence without demanding extensive maintenance.

Hardy in Zones 5 to 8, HOT CHANA™ grows best in part sun to sun and adapts to a wide range of soil types provided drainage is good. Plants mature between 8 and 15 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide. Avoid routine pruning to preserve its naturally attractive form, removing only damaged wood or making light shaping cuts in spring when necessary. This striking Japanese maple rewards gardeners with season long color and dependable landscape performance.
