Why Emperor Japanese Maple Trees?
From its brilliant crimson red color to its hardy strength, the Emperor Japanese Maple Tree lives up to its name as the leader in rich hues and easy, effortless growth.
Known for its strength and vigorous growth, the Emperor is one of the hardiest Japanese Maple varieties available. With its height ranging between 12 to 15 feet at maturity, the Emperor’s convenient stature makes it large enough to plant as a street tree or yard specimen yet compact enough to suit most planting locations. What’s more, its upright growth is easy to maintain.
Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better
For starters, you get second-to-none beauty. In the spring, leaves will flood your tree with heavy purple hues, followed by incredible crimson reds in the fall. The foliage’s thin texture allows light to penetrate, giving the rich, red autumn leaves their brilliant color.
And unlike other varieties, the Emperor maintains its gorgeous color the whole season long. But the best part is that we deliver your Emperor, well-rooted and healthy, right to your door. So, you get a head start on growth and reap the rewards of our hard work at the nursery...no green thumb required.
Don’t miss out on this show of color. Order your Emperor Japanese Maple today!

Wanted a replacement tree - chose a Japanese Maple
We moved into a newly built home and the tree planted by the builder was nothing special. I wanted something special and chose a Japanese maple - always an expensive choice! I found Fast-Growing-Trees and their pricing was far less than our local nurseries. It came packaged very well, very quickly, with good planting instructions. Our tree was replaced a day after arrival (gave the old one to a new and grateful neighbor). More than 3 months later it's happy, healthy, growing, and when it's larger will be a beautiful addition to our front garden, and unique in this neighborhood.
Gorgeous and Healthy
Planted it today in zone 8B. It is so healthy and gorgeous!
Ruby
Just got it in the ground. Let's hope it takes. Her name is Ruby.
Great delivery in summer heat!
My tree was delivered today in perfect condition. Even with the soaring heat of June in Texas, it arrived healthy, unstressed and without a single broken branch! Will buy again.
Pretty small
Was about 1 ft tall. Got a 5 ft one at Lowe's for a lot cheaper.
