Description

Cultivated in Japan in 1710, ‘Tamukeyama’ is one of the oldest Japanese maple varieties and has stood the test of time for good reason. It is hands down our favorite and is recognized by professionals and Japanese maple enthusiasts worldwide as one of the most beautiful and durable weeping lace-leaf Japanese maple cultivars in existence. Tamukeyama is a very fast grower to 6 to 8 feet tall and 8 to 10 feed wide in 10 years or so. During spring and summer, its gracefully cascading branches are covered in finely dissected, deep burgundy-red leaves that resist sun scorch and hold their color throughout the season better than most other varieties. The foliage turns a brilliant scarlet color in fall. When left to grow naturally the branches will cascade to the ground however lower branches can be removed to form a magnificent small tree.

Landscape & Garden Uses

To showcase its magnificence and beauty, the Tamukeyama 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. That said, Japanese Maples are often used to accentuate entryways by planting one on both sides of an entrance, or spaced widely in small clusters of three. Tamukeyama is an ideal selection for landscape beds or in larger sized containers.

Spacing: 14 feet or more apart for space between plants

Container culture can extend the useful range of Japanese Maples. They are extremely easy to grow in containers, a practice taken to its most extreme form in the art of bonsai. Click on the link below under Helpful Articles for Japanese Maple container planting instructions.

Note: One Japanese Maple can make a landscape…that is, if you don’t overcrowd it with other trees and plants. Therefore, when choosing companions to plant under or around your Japanese Maple, make sure to select low-growing shrubs or groundcovers that won’t interfere at all with your tree.

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Japanese Maple variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

In their natural habitat, Japanese Maples are understory trees, growing in dappled forest sunlight at the edges of woodlands. Ideally they prefer to be grown in similar conditions. That said, there are many sun-tolerant Japanese Maple varieties, of which Tamukeyama is one.

Most any average garden soil will grow Japanese Maples. They prefer a moist but well-drained soil rich in organic matter. As with so many other ornamental plants and trees, constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. So make sure to plant your Japanese Maple in a well-drained site.
