The new leaves in spring emerge a soft, natural red, turning burgundy to plum-purple in summer, and finally in fall to a brilliant bright red mixed with the colors of a magnificent sunset. Especially in fall, guests to our gardens always stop for a closer inspection to ask the name of this beauty. They aren't surprised when we tell them it's \"Oregon Sunset\" as it has some of the best fall colors of any cultivar, reminiscent of a beautiful sunset. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eExcellent in landscape beds or containers, Oregon Sunset grows 4 to 5 feet tall and maybe 6 to 7 feet wide in about 10 years, and maybe 8 to 10 feet tall and wide in 20 years.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGrowing 6 to 10 feet tall and wide, to showcase its unique magnificence and beauty, Oregon Sunset 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.

Ideally they prefer to be grown in similar conditions. That said, Oregon Sunset is one that performs quite well in full sun. In southernmost regions where it will grow we recommend a little shade in the hottest part of the afternoon  You can find a complete listing of our sun-tolerant Japanese Maple varieties here.  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eMost any average garden soil will grow Japanese Maples.
