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!

It arrived with a couple

It arrived with a couple broken small branches, but i am sure that was done in the shipping. It is a strong tree and I am sure it will be fine.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertWe're sorry about those broken branches on arrival and we'll be passing that along to the carrier. Japanese Maples are tough and we're sure you're right that it'll come through just fine. We're here anytime if you need us!

Good overall product

Very young saplings, but this tree looks healthy. Had a couple early hiccups. Customer Service was quick to address my issues and make everything right. Overall pleased with final product and service. Pricing was reasonable. Minor leaves lost during shipping. Roots appear healthy, although the root mass is a little undersized.

Media from review #1
Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertIt's great to hear the tree is healthy and that our customer service team was able to address your concerns quickly! A few lost leaves during shipping is completely normal and nothing to worry about. As a nursery we grow and care for these trees until they're ready for their forever homes and with some patience yours is going to develop beautifully. We're glad you're pleased overall!

Healthy arrival

I purchased the 2-3 foot tree, and thought it might be too small. It arrived very healthy and at least 3 foot tall if not a bit more. Very pleased with the purchase.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Jeff, arriving healthy and coming in at the top of the size range is a wonderful outcome! Crimson Queen Japanese Maples are truly beautiful trees and we think yours is going to be absolutely stunning as it matures. So glad you're pleased!

Little happy trees

love this little tree. I have purchased this tree 4 times and gave a couple as gifts. The trees are healthy and doing well from a year ago. I would purchase this again. Thank you.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Nicki, four purchases and gifting them to others is the highest compliment we could ask for! So glad all of them are healthy and doing well a year in. Crimson Queen Japanese Maples are such a special variety and we'd love to have you back for number five!
