The Japanese Maple, referenced in Latin as Acer palmatum, is generally living in zones around Japan, China, Korea. It normally look like small deciduous tree 15' to 25', making it a unique plant! In the summer, its foliage changes to a new form, more or less opposite, 2" to 5" long, medium green color and in the automn its foliage then is turning yellow, orange, red or purple. The Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum) grows flowers that are small, red or purple, in May and June and its fruits are more or less samaras 0.5" to 0.75" long. An interesting thing is its bark, where we can find twigs have green and red, polished, shiny bark that is showy on it. Something that is noticeable to know about the way it is cultured would be that full sun to partial shade is best; shade tolerant Also, an inconvinient with the Japanese Maple can be that relatively pest and maintenance free We can easily identify Acer palmatum with its 5 to 9 palmately-lobed, dissected leaves. The Japanese Maple's propagation is very interesting since it performs it by seed
