Acer palmatum Beni-maiko, or Red Hired Dancing Girl, is a variety of Japanese maple. It’s a small, compact, bushy shrub or small tree with stunning foliage. Five-lobed leaves are bright red in spring, then fade to pinkish-red and green in summer, and finally turn to orange and fiery red in autumn. This plant is very easy to grow. It loves moist, slightly acidic, well-drained soils. For best results, it needs to be in partial shade, but it can tolerate full sun. It doesn’t like strong winds so it should be sheltered. Lack of soil moisture or excessive exposure can cause leaf scorch. It maintains its shape without pruning. This is a fantastic ornamental tree for small yards, city gardens, banks and slopes, or rock gardens. It is also suitable for growing in containers and pots, as long as they are insulated during the cold weather.

About Us

During this time, we have developed a large stock of trees, mature evergreen shrubs, conifers, Japanese maples, cedars and olives. What sets us apart from a generic garden center is solid unwavering focus on trees and some bigger shrubs. You will find thousands of trees, hundreds of varieties and lots of experts who are working on the nursery and more than willing to help you to choose a plant for you.

What you will not find is hot tubs, garden furniture and plastic garden gnomes. In a nutshell, trees is what we know and trees is what we do, and only trees (and some shrubs to go with the trees).
