Japanese Maple tree in a #10 (10-gallon) nursery container, ready for transplanting to your yard or garden. Japanese maples (Acer palmatum) are prized ornamental trees known for their stunning, deeply lobed foliage that comes in shades of red, orange, purple, and yellow depending on the variety. These trees provide year-round visual interest with vibrant spring and summer color and dramatic fall foliage.

Japanese maples are well-suited for both landscape planting and large container growing. They thrive in dappled sunlight or afternoon shade and prefer well-drained, consistently moist soil. At maturity, most varieties reach 15 to 25 feet tall, making them an excellent choice for adding curb appeal and a focal point to residential landscapes without overwhelming the space.
