Acer Palmatum 'Japanese Maple' (JP14)

We’re proud to offer this rare collection of seed-grown Japanese Maples, each with its own unique character, colour, and growth potential. Unlike grafted varieties, these trees are grown from seed, meaning every one is genetically distinct — a true one-of-a-kind.

This seed-grown maple stands at approximately 1.3 metres high, with a tall central trunk and multiple side branches creating a soft, elegant structure. The foliage displays fine, narrow lobes characteristic of weeping-style Japanese Maples, with rich bronzed red tones that deepen through autumn. Although the overall form remains upright for now, the distinctive leaf shape hints at the elegant cascading character often seen in classic weeping varieties. A truly special tree with refined foliage and beautiful seasonal transition.

Each tree in this collection has its own natural variation in growth habit, leaf shape, colour patterns, and seasonal changes. It’s an exciting opportunity to own a Japanese Maple that no one else has — with the possibility of discovering something truly exceptional.

Japanese Maples are deciduous trees, which means they lose their leaves in autumn and winter. As the seasons change, the foliage will naturally begin to turn brown and crisp before dropping entirely. This is a normal and healthy part of their cycle. During winter, the trees will be bare, but this is actually the best time to plant. Cooler conditions reduce stress and allow the root system to settle in and establish, setting the stage for strong, healthy growth when spring arrives.
