The tree grows in a soft, rounded shape that looks like a living umbrella. This makes it a great focal point near a walkway, patio, porch, pond, or garden bed. Its natural shape adds beauty even when it is not the biggest plant in the yard. Beautiful Red-Purple Foliage This laceleaf Japanese maple has finely cut leaves with a soft, feathery look. The foliage is deep red to purple-red during much of the growing season, giving your landscape rich color without needing flowers. The colorful leaves stand out nicely against green shrubs, stone borders, mulch, and lighter-colored homes. Bright Red Fall Color In fall, Tamukeyama Japanese Maple puts on another show as the leaves turn a brighter red. This makes your yard feel warm and colorful as the weather cools. It is a great tree for people who want a plant that changes with the seasons and gives them something beautiful to look forward to each year. Great for Small Yards and Containers Tamukeyama Japanese Maple is a smart choice when you want a beautiful ornamental tree but do not have room for a large shade tree. It commonly grows about 6 to 10 feet tall and 8 to 12 feet wide, with a low, spreading form. It can be planted in the ground as a specimen tree or grown in a large container on a patio or entryway. Slow-Growing and Easy to Enjoy This Japanese maple grows slowly, which helps it stay manageable in the landscape. It does best in moist, well-drained soil and grows well in full sun to part shade, though afternoon shade can help protect the leaves in hot climates. Adding mulch around the root zone can help keep the soil cool and moist. With the right spot and regular watering while it gets established, Tamukeyama Japanese Maple can bring long-lasting beauty to your home.
