Tamukeyama Japanese Maple — Acer palmatum var. dissectum

Tamukeyama Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum var. dissectum 'Tamukeyama') is one of the most breathtaking and sought-after ornamental trees in cultivation — a cascading, weeping specimen whose intricately dissected, lace-like foliage puts on a spectacular multi-season show from spring through fall. The deeply cut, finely textured leaves emerge a rich, dark burgundy in spring and summer, creating a dramatic fountain of color and texture. Then as fall arrives, the foliage transforms into a vivid blaze of scarlet and crimson before dropping, making it one of the finest fall-color trees available. The graceful, mounding weeping form adds year-round architectural elegance to the landscape. Thrives in full sun in cooler climates and needs afternoon shade in the South; prefers rich, moist, slightly acidic, well-drained soils. Hardy to Zone 5.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low Maintenance. Water regularly. Mulch in southern climates to keep roots cool. Prune minimally in fall or winter only.
LANDSCAPE USES: Group Plantings or Specimen Tree, Woodland Gardens, and Street Tree.

COMPANION PLANTS: Black Bamboo, Pieris, Rhododendron
