Japanese Maples

Native to Japan, these deciduous perennial trees known for their striking fall foliage were introduced to the US in the 19th century and have been bred into hundreds of beautiful cultivars since. Japanese Maples make a great low-maintenance addition to any landscape, though be sure to plant them somewhere with dappled or afternoon shade. There are currently over 300 hundred known cultivars of Japanese Maple. Let's take a deeper look at four cultivars currently available at Painters.
