Tamukeyama Japanese Maple

Tamukeyama is a selection of Japanese Maple that has withstood the test of time. As a cultivar it is at least 300 years old and it has endured due to a collection of outstanding features. Weeping branches cascade downward giving it an undulating mounding appearance that can be pruned to preference. Coloration is a bright scarlet with deep burgundy and highlights of brighter red. The red holds well into late summer, longer than many other varieties, but it will green up slightly as summer wanes and fall approaches. It is heat tolerant and holds color well even in full sun. In cold or variable climates it tends to leaf out later, allowing it to survive the late freezes that punish other Japanese maple varieties. These features make Tamukeyama an excellent choice for any landscape. It is a great option for newer gardeners and one you should consider for your landscape if you don't have one already. The Japanese maple (Acer palmatum) has a rich history dating back centuries in Japan, China
