Find the Best Trees / Japanese Maple

Japanese Maple Trees are some of the best trees to plant in your front yard. They offer a splash of rich, vibrant color that can last for months. With gorgeous hues of red, green, orange, white, pink, or purple, these trees bring the “wow” factor. Their average size ranges from 2 to 30 feet, and they will get established in your landscape within about two to three years.

These trees can have weeping, dwarf, upright, mounding, or cascading forms. Depending on the cultivar, they’re an excellent fit for a front entryway. Japanese Maple trees like to grow in areas with partial shade or full sun. However, growing them in a space with more shade can lead them to develop more vibrant foliage colors.

Japanese Maple Trees are easy to care for. They’ll grow well as long as the soil is drained properly. During the dry months, we suggest watering them deeply. Cut back on the amount of water you apply in late summer for intense fall colors.
