Acer palmatum ssp. matsumurae 'Inazuma' dry seed - Common Bonsai,Hardwood - Inazuma Japanese Maple, Thunder Japanese Maple Page

Inazuma Japanese maple is a popular choice for gardeners and landscape designers due to its spectacular colors and growth habits. Its leaves change from bright red in the spring to a darker red in the summer, finally coming to a bright crimson red during the fall. The contrasting green veins on the leaves are particularly striking as summer approaches and provides an eye-catching feature in any garden.
Inazuma is a vigorous grower that can reach a height of 25 feet or even more and a width that is often wider than its height. This makes it quite a statement piece, especially in large gardens. It is well suited for planting as a standalone specimen or as part of a mixed shrub border.
Despite being an old cultivar, dating from 1882, Inazuma remains a favorite due to its beautiful foliage and imposing presence. The name Inazuma fittingly translates to 'Thunder,' a testament to the tree's powerful visual impact.
While the seeds might not replicate the exact characteristics of the mother tree, it would certainly be interesting to plant and monitor their development. Allowing diverse genetics to flourish can lead to the emergence of new and exciting variants.
