This Japanese maple is a deciduous tree with a graceful habit and upright form, reaching a mature height of approximately 12 to 15 feet. Suitable for USDA hardiness zones 5 through 8, it thrives in moderate temperatures and does well in partially shaded areas. The fall color is a stunning blend of orange and red, adding vibrant hues to any landscape. It features small, red flowers in the spring, which are not prominently visible but add to its charm. Preferring well-drained soil, it's important to maintain good moisture levels during its growing season. While not particularly deer resistant, it can be somewhat protected through proper strategic planting. The tree does not bear significant fruit, which makes it an excellent ornamental choice for decorative garden spaces.
