Sensational Color & Elegance: Why Japanese Maples Steal The Show

Japanese Maples are some of the most sensational ornamental trees, and it’s easy to see why! With their dazzling array of colors—deep burgundy, fiery orange, bright yellow, and even variegated shades—these trees transform any landscape into a work of art. Their fall color show is sensational, with leaves turning radiant reds, oranges, and gold before winter arrives.

From compact, shrub-like forms (like ‘Shaina’ and ‘Tamukeyama’) to graceful, weeping varieties (‘Crimson Queen’ and ‘Waterfall’) and tall, upright showstoppers (‘Bloodgood’ and ‘Coral Bark’), there’s a Japanese Maple for every landscape style. Their unique leaf shapes, ranging from delicate, lace-like cuts to broad, palm-shaped designs, add even more visual beauty.

These versatile and elegant trees thrive as focal points in the ground, in decorative pots, or even trained as espaliers. However, in North Texas, they need protection from our intense summer sun—morning sunlight with afternoon shade is a must. Plant them in slightly acidic, well-draining soil, and they’ll reward you with years of beauty.

If you want to elevate your landscape with a tree that blends grace, color, and character, a Japanese Maple is an unbeatable choice!
