Acer platanoides 'Royal Red' Topiary Its abundance of flowers'Royal Red' is very similar to the 'Crimson King' cultivar but is slightly more upright, slower growing and more maroon purple in colour. As it isn't as vigorous it is less prone to frost cracks. Bears small yellow red tinged flowers together with the emerging dark foilage in spring. Yellow and orange autumn colour. Hardy.
