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.

Beautiful tree!
So well packed and lightning fast shipping. Lots of leaves with no blemishes or tears. Looking forward to leaf color changes throughout the year!
Exceeded my expectations :-)
This 4. 5 foot FGT Emperor acer arrived quickly and in perfect shape. It’s a wee bit giraffe-like now, but I can see it wants to fill out. Couldn’t be more pleased with my purchase.
nice tree
it was great
Emperor maple. Good tree.
Arrived in about a week. Well packaged. Tree looks good. Some leaves on the top part of the tree came in dry, I can only assume that was due to the 1 week travel time. All in all I am happy with this purchase. Thank you FGT.
Great Product
Shipment was timely. The tree arrived in good condition. We are waiting on the plant to get established.
