Japanese Maple is a beautiful small deciduous tree with a broad-rounded crown and low branching. Large palmate green leaves have varying shades of yellow, red-purple, and bronze for fall color. Small non-showy umbels of red-purple flowers bloom mid-spring followed by samaras. Grows best in rich, moist, slightly acidic well-drained soils. Prefers full sun in cooler climates, but needs afternoon shade in southern areas.
