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, effortlessly 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.

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.

Planting & Care
1. Planting: Start by selecting an area with well-drained soil and the proper sunlight for your Emperor. In hotter climates, ensure you provide your tree some afternoon shade and protection from the harsh sun. From there, dig the hole slightly larger than the root system of the plant - 2 to 3 times the width and just as deep as the root ball of the tree.
Then, place the Japanese Maple, backfill the hole and tamp down the soil as you proceed to cut back on any air pockets from forming. Water the planting site and then mulch to preserve soil moisture in the area.
2. Watering: The “average” amount of water supplied to the most common lawn and garden plants should be adequate for your new Emperor Tree. During the hot summer months, we recommend watering your Emperor Japanese Maple in the early morning or evening.
3. Fertilizing: These Maples do not require large amounts of nutrients. But any recommended fertilization should use a balanced complete fertilizer for shrubs and trees. This should be applied once a year in early spring, and if possible, before the leaves appear.
4. Pruning: Your tree will need 2 to 3 years to become firmly established in your lawn or garden before you prune it. After this period, you may begin to prune your tree if desired, although it's not required.

United StatesIt was super easy to purchase a tree here! The packaging was great! The tree is beautiful! Very happy buyer!
United StatesShipped very quickly and arrived in a couple days. Packed beautifully and is thriving.
United StatesThe little baby tree I bought had beautiful dark burgundy trunk/branch with tiny baby buds, I planted it as directed and today (2 weeks later), I'm so happy to announce leaves are already emerging from the buds! I love this tree, can't wait to see the new branches and growth to be... Japanese Maples are one of my most favorite trees, especially the Emperor variety and the one you sent was perfectly delivered to my door along with the others plants, they are doing great as well. Thank you.
United StatesIt was a great experience with fast growing trees. It got here way before its delivery date- and I was able to keep track of the package
United StatesExcellent service. My trees were securely packaged and arrived safely wrapped in moist soil. As a Master Gardener, I was impressed with the quality of the trees. I will certainly order more trees in the future.
