'Hot Wings' is a compact, ornamental Japanese maple that delivers year-round drama with its fiercely blazing red seeds (samaras), contrasting fresh green foliage, and fiery autumn colour. This slowly spreading tree bursts into pale yellow spring flowers followed by abundant winged scarlet fruits that adorn its branches like brilliant summer blooms. The deep red samaras are this variety's standout trait, offering a vivid display on a neat framework ideal for small gardens.
