Japanese Maple is noted for its beautiful autumn colours of red, orange or yellow, but in summer this small deciduous tree or large shrub has bright green lobed, deeply cut leaves. It slowly grows into a graceful tree or large shrub, often multi-stemmed, of open habit. No pruning is necessary and when planted in the right spot, it is relatively carefree.
