Carefully grown in a #3 container and shipped wrapped for moisture retention, ‘Ruby Stars’ emerges in spring with bright ruby-red rounded leaves that deepen into rich maroon tones as the season progresses. By mid-summer, the foliage develops soft peachy-orange hues before finishing the season with glowing yellow-to-orange autumn color. Mature leaves become slightly rounded and gently twisted, giving the tree a whimsical sculptural appearance perfect for bonsai, fairy gardens, rock gardens, patios, and collector landscapes. Slow growing and naturally compact, this highly collectible maple is ideal for small spaces and ornamental container growing. You will receive a healthy live tree similar in size and condition to the one shown in the listing photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e✔️ 1 live Acer palmatum ‘Ruby Stars’ tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e✔️ Height: approximately 20–25 inches tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e✔️ Originally grown in #3 container\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e✔️ Shipped wrapped for moisture retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e✔️ Does not ship with container\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e✔️ Healthy, rooted ornamental maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e✔️ Secure packaging for safe arrival\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ruby Stars Japanese Maple, Beni Hoshi\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acer palmatum ‘Ruby Stars’\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Morning sun with afternoon shade recommended\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWatering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; maintain even moisture during establishment\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, well-draining slightly acidic soil\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–9\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very slow growing, compact\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Live tree in #3 container, healthy rooted\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"nurulflowers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43713298923597,"sku":null,"price":390.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/2941\/5501\/files\/ListingShopify2_16_94dcdc0e-dea8-484d-8155-530c9782a39d.jpg?v=1788341535","url":"https:\/\/liveblooms.com\/products\/dwarf-japanese-maple-live-tree-20-25-inches-acer-palmatum-ruby-stars-beni-hoshi-ornamental-bonsai-plant-in-3-container","provider":"Live Blooms","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
