Acer Palmatum 'Japanese Maple' (JP6)

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 850mm high, featuring a slender upright trunk with several side branches giving it a more open, sculptural form. The foliage at this stage of the season shows striking fiery tones, blending brilliant reds and oranges. Some leaf edges are naturally crisping and curling as the tree moves into dormancy, highlighting the seasonal change. With its upright structure and intense autumn colour, JP6 offers real character even while preparing to shed its leaves for winter.

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.
