Acer palmatum 'Anticipation' Red Lace Leaf Japanese Maple

Acer palmatum ‘Anticipation’ is a Maple Ridge Nursery introduction that we have had some fun with over the past few years. It is a beautiful red lace leaf that seems to have an irregular growth habit. It’s most unique feature however, is how late this tree emerges in the spring. This is where the name ‘Anticipation comes from. ‘Anticipation’ routinely waits until the middle to end of April here in Georgia to leaf out, easily the last cultivar at our nursery to do so. There were many years that we thought the tree was dead because it had been so long. This may not seem like a benefit at first, but this trait protects ‘Anticipation’ from any late freezes or frosts.

Regardless of the tree’s quirks, ‘Anticipation’ is a beautiful Japanese maple that has excellent red color in the spring that holds quite well throughout the summer even in the heat. Fall color is then a nice bright red. The growth habit is still something we are evaluating, but thus far to have a rather unique shape while becoming the same size as most other Japanese maples in this category.

Anticipation for Anticipation

I receive Maples from Maple Ridge Nursery every four months or so and I've been very pleased thus far. Received AP Anticipation which was exciting because it's not common in the trade and its an MRN orginal, that's cool..

Thanks again all! :)

I received two thoughtfully packed Japanese Maple trees that arrived healthy, with fully developed root systems and ready to plant.
