A Showpiece in the Garden

Why Tamukeyama Japanese Maple Trees?

Incredible red foliage, cold-hardy strength and a silhouette that holds its color well throughout the season - the Tamukeyama is second to none.

It's the Japanese Maple that stands the test of time. Dating back more than three hundred years, the Tamukeyama Japanese Maple has long perfected its tradition of spectacular beauty. A wonderful specimen, it's easy to grow in a variety of soil conditions in either full sun or part shade. Growing wider than it does tall, the branches swoop down to form a dome filled with colorful foliage on display all four seasons.

Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better

So, a sea of beauty awaits your landscape. Winning on all three counts, the well-defined leaves of the Tamukeyama are exceptional for their shape, texture and especially their color. The purplish-red foliage that emerges in the spring is accented by tiny crimson flowers that will draw admirers in for a closer look. Summer won't dampen the brilliant color that will last the length of the season. As autumn beckons, the leaves red hues deepen, illuminating the planting area with incredible fall color.

But the best part is our Tamukeyama's strong beginnings. Because we've planted, grown and shipped our Japanese Maples with care, you get a healthy root system and a head start on growth, delivered directly to your door.

Bring a centuries-old, award-winning tree into your design plans this year by ordering your own Tamukeyama Japanese Maple today!

Great Trees - Great Company - Happy Customer

I ordered two of these beautiful Tamukeyama Japanese Maple Trees (3-4 feet). They were shipped and delivered as planned. They were pretty beaten up and tired from being shipped. After a nice drink of water and resting for a couple of days, they are bouncing right back. I will let them rest for a couple more days and look forward to planting them and watching them grow. Thank you, Fast Growing Trees !

What

Tree came as ordered and looked great. As I stated in a previous review it was eaten by deer. We are trying to keep the part that remains alive. Thank you.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Barbara, we’re glad the tree arrived as expected, though we’re sorry deer damaged it. Adding a fence around the tree can help protect it as it tries to recover. Please let us know if you need support.
