The Japanese Green Maple is a graceful tree, prized for its vibrant green foliage that transforms into shades of gold, orange, or red in the fall before dropping to the ground. Its delicate, deeply cut, 5-to-9-toothed lobed leaves give it a lacy, airy appearance, making it an attractive focal point in patio containers or landscapes. Relatively low-maintenance, Japanese Maples are extremely popular for their stunning foliage.
Acer palmatum is a beautiful, deciduous tree with a broad, rounded shape. Growing at a slow to moderate rate, the Green Japanese Maple reaches a mature size of 20 to 25 ft. tall and wide. Typically, faster growth occurs during its younger years, gradually slowing as it reaches maturity. Under optimal conditions, Acer palmatum can grow 1 to 2 feet per year.
How big does the Japanese Green Maple grow?
It typically reaches 10 to 15 feet tall and wide, forming a rounded, layered canopy that looks like it’s been sculpted by a patient artist. Growth is slow to moderate.
What kind of light and soil does it prefer?
Morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal. It likes rich, moist, well-drained soil that’s slightly acidic. Hot, dry sites or heavy clay soil are its worst enemies.
How should I water and fertilize it?
Keep soil evenly moist, especially during the first few years. Deep, infrequent watering is best. Fertilize lightly in early spring with a slow-release formula made for trees and shrubs.
Does it need pruning or special care?
Minimal pruning is best — just remove dead or crossing branches in late winter. Too much trimming ruins its natural shape and elegance.
