About This Product
Botanical Name: Acer palmatum
Common Name: Japanese Maple
A deciduous, small ornamental tree with a layered, rounded to spreading canopy and fine-textured branching. Palmate green leaves provide refined garden texture and typically turn red, orange, or yellow in fall, with natural variation in habit and seasonal color among seed-grown forms. Best used in slightly acidic, humus-rich, well-drained soil, with a sheltered location that protects foliage from strong wind. In warm inland gardens, afternoon shade, even moisture, and mulch help support a cool, consistent root zone and reduce leaf scorch.
