Description
Perhaps the most popular of all red lace leaf varieties, the Crimson Queen Japanese Maple is prized for its display of crimson red foliage and attractive, dense, weeping form. The thinly dissected, lacy leaves emerge a deep red in spring, turning to a bronze purple in summer, then to a sunning, hot pinkish-red in fall. All grown up this high grafted tree form might reach 8 to 10 feet tall.
Landscape & Garden Uses
To showcase its magnificence and beauty, a Japanese Maple is best used in landscape design 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 plant one on both sides of an entryway. An ideal selection for landscape beds or in containers.
Suggested Spacing: At least 14 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 choosing companions to plant under or around your Japanese Maple, make sure to select low-growing shrubs or groundcover plants that won’t interfere at all with your tree.
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Japanese Maple variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Though delicate looking, Japanese Maples are actually very tough and long-lived trees that are very easy to grow. Container culture can extend their useful range. They are extremely easy to grow in containers, a practice taken to its most extreme form in the art of bonsai.
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, there are many sun-tolerant Japanese Maple varieties, of which Crimson Queen 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.

I ordered the 2 gallon size as a surprise for my husband who loves Japanese maple trees. This arrived in perfect condition and the tree is shaped so nicely in a weeping form. It is probably 2 1/2 feet tall and looks very healthy. It’s been in the ground a few weeks and still looks healthy in January. My husband really likes it and we will be excited to see the tree develop this year.———————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope he enjoys it for years to come!
