Discover the timeless elegance of Acer palmatum ssp. matsumurae 'Tamukeyama', a standout in the world of Japanese maples. Celebrated for over 300 years and lauded with the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society’s Gold Medal, this stunning ornamental tree is a must-have for any landscape enthusiast. Its cascading, weeping form, layered with intricate lace-like leaves, creates an artistic spectacle throughout the seasons. In spring, the foliage unfurls in rich burgundy tones, transitioning to deep reds in summer, and concluding the year in a blaze of scarlet come autumn. Perfect for patios, rock gardens, and as a striking accent in any setting, 'Tamukeyama' excels in both form and color. It thrives in cooler northern regions with full sun and adapts effortlessly to hotter climates by seeking afternoon shade. Projected to grow between 6 to 8 feet tall and spread 8 to 12 feet wide, this versatile cultivar is surprisingly hardy, capable of withstanding late freezes and high heat. Ideal for USDA zones 4-10, it is specially crafted for container gardening. However, please note that as with all seed grown from cultivars, the resulting seedlings may or may not resemble the mother tree.
