This stunning upright Japanese maple showcases a narrowly columnar habit, ideal for small landscapes or tight garden spaces. Thriving in Zones 5-9, it prefers temperatures between -20°F to 90°F and performs best in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soils. In fall, its deeply-lobed, green leaves transform into fiery shades of orange, red, and yellow, offering a dazzling seasonal display. Though it does not bear fruit, it compensates with its elegant foliage and structured form. Reaching a mature height of 20-25 feet and spreading 6-8 feet wide, this maple exhibits excellent deer resistance, making it a low-maintenance choice for creating vertical interest in gardens or landscapes.
