The branching of this attractive Japanese Maple cultivar provides a weeping affect to the landscape. This variety holds its color longer than most other varieties of Japanese Maple, and is also one of the smaller forms. 'Ever Red' can handle more urban soils but prefers acidic, moist soils. Best coloration occurs if in partial shade.
