'Fireglow' appears very similar to the popular 'Bloodgood' however, the leaves are not as divided, are even deeper red and withstand full sun without burning. It is a bushy, more compact selection than 'Bloodgood' reaching to 4 m. Spring leaves are a bright pinkish-red. It belongs to the Palmatum Group. It was introduced by Fratelli Gilardelli Nursery, Milan, Italy.
