Acer palmatum ‘Livy’
‘Livy’ is a newer dwarf red Japanese maple selection from Canada with a compact, upright habit reminiscent of a purple-maroon Mikawa-type. The medium-sized leaves emerge deep maroon in spring, creating a bold early-season presence. As summer progresses, the foliage takes on a translucent emerald-green glow that gives the tree a luminous, ethereal quality in the garden.
In fall, ‘Livy’ puts on a striking display of bright red foliage, making it a standout specimen in smaller landscapes, containers, or foundation plantings. With a mature size of approximately 5–6 feet tall and equally wide in 10 years, it offers a perfect mid-sized maple for gardens where space is limited but seasonal drama is desired.
Dense branching and upright form provide structure, while the color transitions through the seasons keep the tree visually dynamic year-round. Its refined size, glowing summer leaves, and brilliant fall color make ‘Livy’ a versatile and collector-worthy addition.
Why We Love It: A compact red Mikawa-type with glowing emerald summer leaves and fiery fall color — small in stature but big in seasonal impact.
