brilliant Japanese maple. In fact, the color grows

foliage, the leaves turn to shades of scarlet, 
crimson, and vivid orange. Plant it in full sun 
if you want the most brilliant colors. Use the 
Red-leaved Barberry for color in the shrub 
border, at corners, at curves along walks or 
drives, or as a boundary hedge. Strong, 1-yr.
