Grown from premium Japanese Maple parent trees, each of these seedlings is completely unique, no two are the same. Some may develop upright branching while others may take on a more cascading or weeping form. Their foliage varies from green to bronze tones, with the potential for striking seasonal colour changes as they mature.

A Japanese Maple is a standout addition to any garden, offering year-round interest with stunning foliage that transforms through all four seasons. However, due to the time-intensive growing and grafting process, they can often be quite expensive. These seed-grown maples offer an affordable way to enjoy the beauty and elegance of this highly sought-after species while allowing you to grow and shape your own tree from the very beginning.

With patience and care, they can grow into truly exceptional specimens, typically reaching mature height over a period of 10–15 years depending on conditions and maintenance.

Japanese Maple seedlings are also excellent for training as bonsai, thanks to their fine branching and delicate leaf structure.

Please note: each plant is unique and may not be fully root bound at the time of purchase. The plant details below are based on the general characteristics of Acer Palmatum (Japanese Maple).
