Looking for a stunning addition to your garden? Look no further than Acer palmatum ssp. matsumurae 'Inazuma,' or the Inazuma Japanese Maple, also known as the Thunder Japanese Maple. This stunning variety boasts deeply divided leaves that transition from deep purple in the spring and early summer to a dark green in late season, before turning a vibrant red-crimson in the fall.
While Vertrees, in his book "Japanese Maples," notes that the leaves are deeply divided but not double-dissected, the Inazuma still offers a captivating display with its upright growing form that is slightly pendulous, but not cascading.
If you're a fan of the Inazuma and looking to expand your garden, you'll be pleased to know that we offer seeds for sale, allowing you to see what characteristics this stunning Japanese Maple can pass on to its progeny. So why wait? Keep in mind that while seedlings from cultivars may or may not resemble the mother tree, you can be sure that this maple will bring incredible beauty and visual interest to your outdoor space. Bring the beauty and elegance of the Inazuma Japanese Maple to your garden and enjoy its stunning displays all year round.
