The Acer palmatum 'Red Emperor' is a captivating Japanese maple known for its deep red foliage that holds color brilliantly throughout the growing season. This bushy, upright tree features finely cut, vibrant leaves that emerge bright red in spring, deepen to a rich crimson in summer, and turn to fiery scarlet in fall, creating a striking display. Growing up to 15-20 feet, 'Red Emperor' has a graceful, spreading form and is hardy, resistant to leaf scorch in sun and heat. Ideal as a focal point in gardens, it thrives in well-drained soil with moderate moisture and partial shade. With its bold color, easy-care nature, and dramatic form, 'Red Emperor' is a favorite for adding elegance to any landscape.

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).
