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.

Japanese Maple
It was hard keeping it alive during the summer! Still alive. Next time I will buy it during dormant season. Great strong tree.
Slow growth
Watering regularly and hoping it grows well and survives.
Emperor 1 - Wolff
Good. . root ball was totally dried out, some browning and curling of leaves, one minor branch and several leaves caught and folded in the side box flaps, but potted it into a grow pot right away. . watered well, with no wilting, and tolerating heat well. Looks good for my July birthday delivery . . !! Thanks.
