Tamukeyama is a stunning, deciduous Japanese maple known for its weeping habit and finely dissected leaves that boast a remarkable red hue throughout the growing season before deepening to a bright crimson in the fall. Hardy in zones 5 through 8, this tree thrives in temperatures ranging from 0°F to 30°F. It prefers well-drained, moist, acidic to neutral soil with some organic content to support its healthy growth. The tree's delicate, cascading shape creates an elegant focal point in any garden, achieving a moderate height of approximately 6 to 8 feet, with a spread that enhances its graceful silhouette. Since it is generally deer-resistant, this maple is a resilient addition to landscapes where deer browsing is a concern. With its unique foliage and form, it provides continuous visual interest and color throughout the growing seasons.
