Acer palmatum 'Horizontalis' (Horizontalis Japanese Maple Standards) is a unique deciduous tree with a broad, spreading growth habit. Grafted onto a standard trunk, this variety forms a distinctive, layered canopy with finely cut foliage. The leaves emerge bright green in spring, deepen to a lush green in summer, and transition to spectacular shades of red and orange in autumn.
Perfect for feature planting in gardens, courtyards, or decorative pots, Acer palmatum 'Horizontalis' creates a striking architectural statement. It thrives in full sun to partial shade, preferring moist, well-drained soil. Protecting it from strong winds and harsh afternoon sun will help maintain its delicate foliage.
