Acer Palmatum 'Japanese Maple' (JP9)

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, with a slender upright trunk and light branching along its height. The foliage is primarily bright green, showing touches of orange and bronze tones as the season changes. Leaf edges are beginning to crisp naturally with the approach of winter, giving the tree an authentic seasonal look. A neat, vertical form with soft colours, perfect for anyone looking for an elegant, classic maple shape with gentle seasonal variation.

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.
