THE WHAT , WHY, AND HOW OF JAPANESE MAPLES

The japanese maple has been around since the early 17th century, and have been bred, selected and propagated since that time. The japanese people have had the most influence in the development of these maples. within the last 100 years the japanese maple has been developed even more in the united states. many new maples have been cultivated to fit the growing needs and climate of most all of the us. There are now several hundred varieties, that have different shapes, growth habits, leaf color, leaf shape, and hardiness. 

The maples form very small flowers in the spring, that quickly transform into the maples seeds. The two distinct growing habits that the buyer needs to decide on, is an upright grower vs. a canopy grower. 

The upright growers grow taller and more "upright", they provide a little more shade, and a higher canopy. in general tey can reach a height of 15 -20 ft. in general, these maples have a broader leaf.

The canopy type growers and the most popular and unusual of the japanese maples. most of is variety also has the deeply divided leaves. these grow on average about 9-10 ft tall, and many varieties stay much smaller. 

Leaf colors are by far the most striking characteristic of japanese maples. the leaves vary in color with each season, and can even have variegated leaves, with multiple colors on each leaf. fall color is when the maples really slow off, and provide a bold canopy to your landscape before cold weather. 

Japanese maples are great for your landscape and also for containers. they grow slowly and can stay in the same container for many years. many customers love to collect different varieties and have a japanese garden. it is a very good way to have a landscape that is different then the neighbors!

Bonsai collectors are also very high on japanese maples. there are many dwarf varieties that are perfect for this highly skilled art. for the patient bonsai pruner, these maples are top on their list. 

To summarize, i would just say that anyone wanting something different for their landscape, garden, or patio, you can not go wrong with one of these beauties. please visit my current inventory, which i have tried to separate by characteristics. If you have any questions at all, please email me at jherter@twave.net. we will answer you asap. My wife and i do most of the grafting, and all of the growing, shipping, and customer service, but we try to answer questions within a day. thank you so much for your interest in our small nursery and for giving japanese maples a try. I think you will enjoy watching one grow and mature in your life!
