The leaves emerge a soft green in spring that deepen in color during summer, but what is truly incredible are spectacular shades of yellow, orange, red, crimson and purple with the arrival of cooler temperatures in fall, holding color longer than other forms. Truly a site to behold! A very special Japanese Maple for tropical, Japanese, and exotic gardens; but stands on its own in any setting.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eTo showcase its magnificence and beauty, a Japanese Maple is best used in the landscape as a focal point specimen to draw attention to a specific area of the home or landscape.
