Japanese Maple Trees
The Japanese Maple is a small tree that is often less than 25’ tall with year-round appeal. With hundreds of species, there are numerous different foliage types and bark characteristics, but this deciduous tree usually emerges in green, red, purple, or a marble pattern of white, pink, and green. However, it’s in the spring and fall when the splendor takes hold and vibrant red, yellow, and maroon leaves envelop the branches.

A beautiful weeping laceleaf with new pinkish red leaves which mature to bright red. This cultivar holds deep red color in sun or shade, better than any other red dissectum. Rich red in fall.

The most common green laceleaf maple. Bright green leaves turn yellow-gold with hints of orange and red in fall. Cascading habit.
Orangeola Laceleaf Japanese Maple
Leaves emerge an orange-red then fade to dark red. Heavy shade encourages a deep green cast.

Dense branches cascade nicely.
Care & Location
This tree thrives best in rich, moist soil and partial shade, however some versions perform well in full sun. When placed in the right location, this tree requires little care which is great for a more hands-off homeowner who just wants to bring some color and shade to their yard. Just ensure your tree receives enough water, keeping the soil moist in the summer. Without proper hydration, the Japanese Maple is prone to leaf scorch.
