Emperor I® Japanese Maple Tree

Acer palmatum 'Wolff', commonly known as Emperor I, is a graceful deciduous tree reaching fifteen feet in height and width. It features a vase-like habit in youth that rounds with age, making it an ideal specimen for smaller landscapes. Its dark purple-red foliage emerges later in spring than other cultivars, providing excellent protection against late frosts. In autumn, the leaves transform into a brilliant scarlet. It thrives in moist, acidic, well-drained soil under full to partial sun.
