Acer Palmatum 'Japanese Maple' (JP18)

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 approximately 1.5 metres high, featuring a tall central leader with strong, elegant branching. The foliage transitions from lush bright green during the growing season to vibrant red and orange highlights as autumn approaches. JP18 displays striking colour changes and a beautifully upright growth habit, making it an excellent statement tree for garden landscapes.

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.
