Samurai Sword Japanese Maple – 1 Live Tree, 3-Gallon Pot – Acer palmatum ‘Samurai Sword’

Samurai Sword Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum ‘Samurai Sword’) is a deciduous ornamental tree valued for its deeply divided, burgundy-red foliage and distinctive upright growth habit. Its narrow leaf segments create a finely textured appearance that adds contrast to ornamental landscapes and Japanese-inspired gardens.

This cultivar develops an oval-to-pyramidal form rather than the broad, cascading habit associated with many laceleaf Japanese maples. Young plants are described as vigorous growers, with foliage color and seasonal appearance varying according to sunlight, temperature, and growing conditions.

This listing includes 1 live Samurai Sword Japanese Maple in a 3-gallon pot. The seller has not specified its shipping height. As a deciduous tree, it naturally loses its leaves during autumn and may be shipped dormant or leafless during winter.
