With its stunning foliage and weeping form, the Tamukeyama Japanese Maple is a highly desirable specimen tree. Botanically known as Acer palmatum dissectum 'Tamukeyama', this Japanese Maple develops a fine display of deeply dissected, crimson-red leaves in spring that turn a dark purple-red come fall. As a dwarf specimen, Tamukeyama is ideally suited for smaller or urban gardens. The Tamukeyama Japanese Maple is hard to beat for color and interest.
Over time, this Japanese Maple will develop a graceful mound of weeping foliage to no more than 8 feet tall. Being deciduous, it drops its leaves as the temperatures fall to reveal a wonderful framework of deep red bark. Requiring little pruning, this small tree is low maintenance and can be grown in USDA zones 5 to 8. The Tamukeyama Japanese Maple is perfect for growing as a specimen tree where its color and texture can be appreciated.
Tamukeyama Japanese Maple Care
Due to its dwarf form, the Tamukeyama Japanese Maple is unlikely to interfere with any overhead structures or power lines. However, to thrive, this Japanese Maple does require fertile, free-draining soil that is slightly acidic. It can be grown in either full sun or partial shade, but appreciates some shade in the afternoon, especially in the South. It prefers moist soil and an application of mulch annually to help conserve moisture and suppress any weeds.
The Tamukeyama Japanese Maple rarely requires pruning. Nevertheless, any dead or misplaced branches can be removed, and the tree can be lightly shaped when dormant in the winter. To encourage new growth, a slow-release fertilizer can be applied in early spring.
Tamukeyama Japanese Maple Spacing
When mature, the Tamukeyama Japanese Maple can grow to 6-8 feet tall with a spread of 8-9 feet. When planting this Japanese Maple, you’ll want to allow space for its canopy to spread as it matures.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
