CRAFTING OUR MAPLES BY HAND

As stewards, we spend years carefully pruning and cultivating our Japanese maple trees, using traditional Japanese practices to emphasize the natural characteristics that emerge as these graceful plants grow and develop. Note: Japanese Maples require regular and proper maintenance (read about the value of maintenance 1, 2, 3).

GRACEFUL FORM

One of the loveliest qualities of Japanese Maples is their graceful, delicate branch structure. Properly cared for, they stretch out their limbs in attractive layers, adding beauty to any garden scene, even in winter. Another positive quality of Japanese Maples is their human-scaled size which allows them to be used in gardens where space is limited.

STUNNING COLOR

Probably the most popular reason for using Japanese Maples in a garden is their stunning autumn colors, which range from bright yellows and oranges, to brilliant crimsons. Even in springtime, certain Japaneses Maples leaf out in vibrant neon green and scarlet, making them colorful garden showstoppers throughout the year.

SELECTING FROM OUR DIVERSE RANGE OF JAPANESE MAPLES
