Acer palmatum 'Tamuke yama'

'Tamuke yama' has been grown in Japan for around 300 years. Recently it has become accepted as one of the best lace leaf varieties in cultivation, and probably the best red lace leaf for hot climates. 'Tamuke yama' not only tolerates but actually thrives in our hot Georgia summers even in full sun.

It is one of the fastest growing weeping Japanese maples we grow, slightly more irregular and upright than other lace leaf varieties.

New growth is dark red in spring and holds very well especially in sunny locations. Fall color is a mix of fiery reds with a hint of orange undertone that predictably puts on one of the falls best shows.
