Maroon Leaves Add Remarkable Reward

Why Crimson Queen Japanese Maple?

With its purplish-red foliage, the Crimson Queen Japanese Maple is a standout in any garden. This tree’s unusually-colored, small, spiky leaves add beautiful contrast to any landscaping design, especially in contrast to green foliage. What’s more, this medium-sized Japanese Maple only reaches heights of six to ten feet, making it versatile for different sized yards and spaces. 

The Crimson Queen Japanese Maple is known for its low-maintenance. It has a high drought tolerance and only needs to be pruned if you want to remove dead or dying branches. Further, this Maple adapts to many soil types for planting ease

Why FastGrowingTrees.com is Better

Best of all, Crimson Queen Japanese Maples are versatile
and will grow in partial shade or full sun. So, you don't have to worry about tall shade trees nearby or shade from close structures.

And because we’ve planted, grown and nurtured our Japanese Maples for months ahead of shipping, you get a better experience- one you won’t find at other nurseries or big box stores.

Order your Crimson Queen Japanese Maple today for extraordinary color and performance!

New baby tree

So far, so good. The tree was packed nicely and in good shape when I received it. I wish there had been some sort of sort of planting and care instructions included. If there were some, I may have missed them. The tree seems very healthy.
