Acer palmatum 'Crimson Prince' Red Upright Japanese Maple Pinus Strobus The leaves of ‘Glowing Embers’Acer palmatum Crimson Prince was introduced by Princeton Nurseries in 1988. This is one of many in a long line of cultivars claiming better than 'Bloodgood' status. Being relatively fast growing 'Crimson Prince' is a very desirable red cultivar with dark purple almost black stems. The spring color is slightly more red and not as dark as 'Bloodgood' and does hold well into the summer finally turning first bronze then olive green by mid to late August
