Japanese Maple trees (Acer palmatum) are highly ornamental deciduous trees known for their beautiful foliage, elegant growth habit, and spectacular seasonal colour changes. They are available in a wide range of leaf shapes, colours, and sizes, making them a popular choice for gardens of all sizes.
The mature size varies by variety. Compact and dwarf varieties can reach around 1.5 to 2 metres, while larger upright forms can grow to 4 to 6 metres over many years. Most Japanese Maples are slow growing and remain manageable in the garden.
Japanese Maples thrive in a sheltered position with protection from strong winds. Most varieties prefer partial shade, although some can tolerate more sunlight. They grow best in moist, fertile, well-drained soil.
