Japanese maple, also known as Acer palmatum, is a graceful deciduous tree that will elevate any outdoor space. The deeply lobed leaves come in various shades of green, red, purple, yellow, orange, and white, and can be wispy or rounded. These trees are known for their fall display when the leaves may turn fiery shades of red, orange, yellow, and bronze. Several selections grow slowly and stay compact, making them perfect for growing in containers.
