The striking feature is the ever changing colors, with each tree seeming to have its own particular variegation, which depends upon the amount of sunlight exposure. In our gardens, where the tree is located so that it receives morning sun with filtered sun during the afternoon hours, the leaves emerge a rich burgundy-red to purple with splashes of vibrant pink. The leaves then gradually turn green with white, pink and purple highlights by summer. Fall brings blazing color with brilliant scarlet red and touches of orange and yellow. In general, we've heard that more sun and heat during the summer months results in a dark maroon color for new leaves while the existing leaves turn various shades of green with white edging and pink highlights. In more shade the new leaves emerge with lavender highlights. With a shapely upright form and gracefully arching branches, you can expect 10 to 15 feet height and width at maturity.\u003c\/div\u003e\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\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eTo showcase its magnificence and beauty, the Shirazz 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.
