Bring Beauty to Your Garden with Japanese Maples from Green Hills Nursery
Japanese Maples are a versatile and elegant addition to any garden, offering stunning seasonal color and delicate foliage that can elevate any outdoor space. At Green Hills Nursery, we offer a wide variety of Japanese Maples, from classic green varieties to unique red-leafed types. While Fresno’s climate can be challenging, Japanese Maples are adaptable with the right care and placement, making them a standout feature in any landscape.
Unique Japanese Maple Varieties
Japanese Maples are available in a range of beautiful varieties that bring their own distinctive charm to your garden:
(Acer Palmatum, Green)
This classic variety thrives in full sun, although its outer leaves may show some heat scorch in late summer. It remains a resilient and beautiful option for Fresno gardens.
(Acer Palmatum, Red)
These stunning red-leafed varieties require careful placement. They thrive best with morning sun and afternoon shade, as too much sun may cause leaf burn while too much shade can diminish their vibrant red color.
(Acer Palmatum ‘Seiryu’)
A unique, upright-growing green, narrow-leafed variety that does exceptionally well in full sun. It can reach heights of 10-20 feet and adds height and texture to your garden.
(Acer Palmatum)
Known for its distinctive ‘tufts’ of curly leaves, this slow-growing green variety does best in filtered shade and is perfect for smaller gardens or shaded areas.
(Acer Palmatum ‘Sango Kaku’)
This variety shines in the winter when its bare branches turn a vibrant coral-orange. It features light green leaves during the growing season and prefers afternoon shade to protect its delicate foliage from heat.
Care Tips for Japanese Maples
- Soil: Japanese Maples thrive in rich, well-drained soil. Ensure your soil is moisture-retentive but drains excess water effectively to avoid root rot.
- Fertilizing: Use a slow-release organic fertilizer, and consider adding extra potassium to minimize heat scorch during the hottest months. Regular feeding helps maintain the tree’s health and vibrancy.
- Watering: While Japanese Maples prefer consistent moisture, be careful not to overwater. Deep watering once or twice a week is generally sufficient, especially during hot weather.
- Pruning: Japanese Maples require minimal pruning. It’s important to prune carefully to maintain the tree’s natural shape. For the best results, visit Green Hills Nursery and speak with Leonard, our pruning expert.
- Sun Protection: Red-leafed varieties benefit from afternoon shade to prevent leaf burn, while green varieties can handle more direct sunlight but may still need some protection during the peak of summer.
