Acer palmatum 'Twombly's Red Sentinel' Red Columnar Japanese Maple

Acer palmatum ‘Twombly’s Red Sentinel’ is a fast growing red Japanese maple with a compact and columnar growth habit. 'Twombly's Red Sentinel' was an introduction discovered as a witches broom on a 'Bloodgood' by Ken Twombly of Twombly Nursery, Monroe Connecticut. Much more vigorous than most witches brooms, 'Twombly's Red Sentinel' quickly develops the upright columnar habit for which it has become famous but will widen some with age. The compact nature of 'Twombly's Red Sentinel' makes it a great upright Japanese maple for smaller and narrower areas of the garden.

New leaves appear crimson red then quickly darken to burgundy but as this plant almost always seems to be growing it has a two toned effect most of the year. 'Twombly's Red Sentinel' can be grown in zones 5 through 9 and holds its color all year even in hot climates. 'Twombly's Red Sentinel' can tolerating full sun at least as far south as Atlanta, Georgia. Fall color is a spectacular red and the dark red stems of the last new growth even add interest to the winter landscape.

Very pleased

Ordered before the Memorial day holiday. Was concerned it would be stuck in shipping those three days when no packages were being delivered. It arrived safe and sound and none the worse for wear. It was packaged flawlessly. I got it in the ground immediately and it looks to be doing fine. Will probably order again. Much to like about your offerings.

Lovely Plants

Arrived in perfect shape, look great after planting. Living east of the Mississippi I prefer to order plants from nurseries that are also located in the eastern half of the U.S. That way the plants don’t have to spend as long in transit. Maple Ridge was not only closer to me, they also had the lowest price out of the 3 or 4 nurseries that I compared. This is the second order that I have received from than and both took longer to be shipped than what I have experienced elsewhere. The company did keep me informed as to when trees were being shipped.
