Description
One of if not the most beautiful and exotic trees in our gardens, the Dancing Peacock Japanese Maple is an upright umbrella shaped cultivar to 15 or 20 feet which features very large, deeply-dissected and multi-layered leaves that are shaped like the tail feathers of a peacock. The leaves emerge a soft green in spring that deepen in color during summer, but what is truly incredible are spectacular shades of yellow, orange, red, crimson and purple with the arrival of cooler temperatures in fall, holding color longer than other forms. Truly a site to behold! A very special Japanese Maple for tropical, Japanese, and exotic gardens; but stands on its own in any setting.
Landscape & Garden Uses
To showcase its magnificence and beauty, a Japanese Maple is best used in the landscape as a focal point specimen to draw attention to a specific area of the home or landscape. That said, you can plant them in groupings of three or plant one on both sides of an entryway.
Suggested Spacing:Â At least 25 feet apart for space between trees over the long term
Container culture can extend the useful range of Japanese Maples. They are extremely easy to grow in containers, a practice taken to its most extreme form in the art of bonsai. Click on the link below under Helpful Articles for Japanese Maple container planting instructions.Â
Note:Â Â One Japanese Maple can make a landscape…that is, if you don’t overcrowd it with other trees and plants. Therefore, when choosing companions to plant under or around your Japanese Maple, make sure to select low-growing shrubs or groundcovers that won’t interfere at all with your tree.Â
Growing Preferences
Though delicate looking, Japanese Maples are actually very tough and long-lived trees. They are very easy to grow in the ground or in containers.
In their natural habitat, Japanese Maples are understory trees, growing in dappled forest sunlight at the edges of woodlands. Ideally Autumn Moon Japanese Maple prefers to be grown in similar conditions. That said, in cooler climates it will handle full to mostly sun quite well.  Sun-tolerant Japanese Maple varieties.Â
Most any average garden soil will grow Japanese Maples. They prefer a moist but well-drained soil rich in organic matter. As with so many other ornamental plants and trees, constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. So make sure to plant your Japanese Maple in a well-drained site.
