Acer palmatum (Japanese Maple Tree)
Color Name: Tamukeyama
A graceful, mounding, dwarf tree with waxy, deep red bark and beautiful cascading branches. Deeply lobed foliage is a beautiful purple-red throughout the summer and turns bright red in the fall. An ideal accent for Asian-themed gardens. Well-suited for use as a container specimen.
Growing Tips: Japanese maples are relatively adaptable in terms of growing conditions. In cold or exposed sites, they should be sited where they get some protection from the harshest winter weather.
Soil: Any well-drained soil will do.
Pruning: Little needed. May be selectively pruned to shape as needed, but avoid regular trimming or pruning.
Uses: Specimen, containers, flower gardens
