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.

Emperor Japanese Maple Tree.
It arrived well packaged. Was very easy to plant, roots were strong. I appreciated that it was staked with a bamboo pole , made it well supported. I must say that overall care was taken with this tree to ensure the safety of delivery.
Beautiful sapling, arrived in great
Beautiful sapling, arrived in great shape. Looking forward to the growth of this sapling maturing into a full blown tree. It will be the focal point of the backyard.
So far so good!
It's only been about a week, but the tree arrived healthy and is doing well. I see no reason why it won't continue to thrive. Very satisfied!
Best purchase I’ve made at FGT!
This is year 3 for my Emperor maple from FGT. It is absolutely stunning. Gorgeous color, healthy and growing well. My absolute favorite purchase from this site.
