Green Japanese Maple 1 Live Bare Root Tree – 28–32 Inches Tall – Acer palmatum

Green Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum) is an ornamental deciduous tree admired for its graceful branching structure, deeply lobed green leaves, and attractive seasonal foliage. Its elegant appearance makes it suitable for Japanese-inspired gardens, woodland landscapes, ornamental borders, and specimen plantings. This versatile tree can be grown in the ground or maintained in containers with appropriate care.

Throughout spring and summer, Green Japanese Maple displays delicate, palm-shaped foliage that creates a soft, textured appearance. As temperatures cool in autumn, the leaves may develop shades of yellow, orange, or red before dropping for winter dormancy. Seasonal coloration varies with growing conditions, climate, and individual plant characteristics.

Green Japanese Maple generally performs best in well-drained soil and locations receiving full sun to partial shade. In warmer climates, protection from intense afternoon sunlight can help reduce leaf stress. Its naturally branching growth habit also makes it suitable for bonsai training and ornamental container cultivation.

Important Shipping and Pruning Disclosure

Although the tree is grown in a 2-inch nursery pot during cultivation, the nursery pot is not included.

The tree will be shipped bare root, rather than in a pot with its growing medium.

Trees may be pruned to fit into a 36-inch shipping box. This pruning is part of the seller's shipping preparation and may affect the plant's branching structure and appearance upon arrival.

The stated 28–32-inch shipping height is the seller-provided size range. Because pruning may occur before dispatch, the final packed appearance may differ from the original nursery presentation.

Green Japanese Maple is deciduous and may arrive with reduced foliage or no leaves during dormancy. Leaf color, branching, and overall appearance vary seasonally.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.
