Multi-Stem Hot-Wings Tatarian Maple Tree, Ball and Burlap

Hot Wings Tatarian Maple is a superior small ornamental tree discovered in Colorado but destined for distribution throughout the country in USDA Zones 4 through 10. It appeared as a chance-seedling found growing in the production fields of Fort Collins Wholesale Nursery at Fort Collins, CO. This particular tree stood out from all the other Tatarian maples for six weeks every summer with its brilliant scarlet-red samaras, what some folks call helicopters because of the way they spin around when falling from the tree. These samaras are so bright red that when standing out against the rich green foliage it gives the appearance of being in bloom. In the spring, clusters of yellow-white flowers cover the tree after the leaves appear. With the arrival of cooler temperatures in fall the foliage turns to orange red on the outside of the canopy and bright yellow inside for quite a stunning effect. With strong branching, cold and heat resistance, drought tolerance when established, and growing 15 to 18 feet tall and equally as wide if left to grow unpruned, Hot Wings is indeed a superior and magnificent tree that deserves a spot in every landscape.
