Description

If there ever was a tree to put the ultimate exclamation point on your landscape it would be this one. Growing up to 20 feet in height and a mere 4 to 6 feet wide, the ‘Tsukasa Silhouette’ Japanese Maple is a statuesque selection with an upright very very slender pyramidal form. Palmate leaves emerge a bright chartreuse green in spring turning to a rich deep green by summer and brilliant crimson to orange red shades in fall. A heat tolerant variety that is excellent for small or larger garden beds and pots, planters and other containers.

Landscape & Garden Uses

To showcase its magnificence and beauty, Tsukasa Silhouette Japanese Maple is best used in the landscape as a focal point specimen to draw attention to a specific area of the home or landscape. That said, you can plant them in groupings of three or two to frame an entryway.

Suggested Spacing: At least 8 feet apart for space between trees

Container culture can extend the useful range of Japanese Maples. They are extremely easy to grow in containers, a practice taken to its most extreme form in the art of bonsai. Click on the link below under Helpful Articles for Japanese Maple container planting instructions.

Note: One Japanese Maple can make a landscape…that is, if you don’t overcrowd it with other trees and plants. Therefore, when selecting companions to plant under or around your Japanese Maple, make sure to select low-growing shrubs or groundcovers that won’t interfere at all with your tree.

Growing Preferences

Though delicate looking, Japanese Maples are actually very tough and long-lived trees. They are very easy to grow in the ground or in containers.

In their natural habitat, Japanese Maples are understory trees, growing in dappled forest sunlight at the edges of woodlands. Ideally they prefer to be grown in similar conditions. That said, you can find a complete listing of our sun-tolerant Japanese Maple varieties here, of which Tsukasa Silhouette is one.

Most any average garden soil will grow Japanese Maples. They prefer a moist but well-drained soil rich in organic matter. As with so many other ornamental plants and trees, constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. So make sure to plant your Japanese Maple in a well-drained site.
