Arctic Jade Korean Maple Foliage - Fall Reds and Oranges - November 2025

Red centers with orange tips on the deeply cut leaves on our Arctic Jade Korean Maple tree continue to be the star of the "Fall Show" in our backyard.  I posted a photo of this tree showing its colors a few days ago and the tree continues to color-up.  Here, below, is a look at some of the colors on the leaves right now:

Previously, I posted about this tree and included a description that compared the Arctic Jade Korean Maple to the Full Moon Autumn Maple - which is a Japanese Maple.  Acer shirasawnum.  One that I've long admired and a big part of why I bought the Arctic Jade.  Not to mention the fact that it is a Korean Maple that is a more cold tolerant than the Acer shirasawnum.  

I planted this tree in the front of a curved bed in our backyard as a (sort-of) replacement for the Flowering Japanese Cherry Tree that died last year.  It went in the ground in June, so this is our first Fall with the tree.  

Previously, I planted a small Northern Glow Korean Maple in the front yard island bed.  Looking at my 2025 to-do list, #5 was to 'get back into the Japanese Maple game'.  With this pretty large Arctic Jade in the ground, I'll say that I was successful.  But, with two now in place, I'm already thinking about a third one for next year.  

I've posted about the Jack Frost Collection from the folks at Iseli Nursery before (that's the collection that the Arctic Jade is from) and next year I'm thinking of adding another one like the North Wind Korean Maple.
