The Tamukeyama Japanese Maple is a living work of art, transforming your garden into a vibrant masterpiece throughout the year. Its deep, dark red leaves emerge in spring, gradually brightening to a fiery crimson or orange as summer unfolds. But the true magic happens in autumn, when the leaves explode into a breathtaking kaleidoscope of scarlet, purple, and orange hues.
Unlike many other Japanese maple varieties, the Tamukeyama is a relatively compact tree. This makes it an ideal choice for smaller gardens or urban landscapes where space is limited.
Its manageable size allows it to be planted in various locations, including courtyards, patios, and even containers. The compact nature of the Tamukeyama Japanese Maple also makes it easier to maintain and prune, reducing the amount of time and effort required for its care.
Once established, the tree requires minimal care to thrive. It is relatively drought-tolerant and can withstand periods of dry weather. Regular watering is essential, particularly during hot, dry spells, but excessive watering should be avoided.
The Tamukeyama Maple also has a moderate tolerance for pests and diseases, making it less susceptible to common garden problems. Its resilience and adaptability make it a hassle-free addition to any landscape.
The Tamukeyama Japanese Maple thrives in full sun or partial shade. It prefers well-drained, acidic soil for optimal growth.
Allow for a planting space of approximately 8 feet between individual Tamukeyama Japanese Maples to ensure adequate growth and prevent overcrowding.
Dig a planting hole that is slightly wider and deeper than the root ball of the tree. A general guideline is to make the hole about 1.5 times the size of the container.
Carefully place the root ball in the hole and fill in the surrounding gaps with soil. Gently tamp down the soil to ensure good contact with the roots.
After planting, thoroughly water the Tamukeyama Japanese Maple to help settle the roots and provide essential moisture.
Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the tree to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect the roots. Water regularly, especially during dry periods.
Unlike finicky flowering plants, the Tamukeyama thrives with minimal attention, rewarding you with a captivating display year after year. Plus, its compact size makes it a perfect fit for cozy patios or balconies, bringing a touch of serenity to even the smallest urban oasis.

Pruning is optional but can be done to maintain shape or remove dead or crossing branches. The best time to prune is in late winter or early spring.

Upon arrival, thoroughly water the newly planted tree to help settle the roots and provide essential moisture.
Water the tree regularly during the first growing season to establish a strong root system. Deep watering is preferable to frequent shallow watering.
Once established, the Tamukeyama Japanese Maple can tolerate some periods of drought. However, during extended dry spells, it is important to provide supplemental watering.
Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. Monitor the soil moisture and water only when the top few inches are dry.
Fertilizing is generally not necessary immediately upon planting. Allow the tree to establish itself before applying fertilizer.
In the spring of the first growing season, apply a balanced fertilizer to promote healthy growth. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the appropriate application rate.
Continue to fertilize annually in the spring. A slow-release fertilizer can be used to provide sustained nutrients throughout the growing season.
Avoid over-fertilization, as it can lead to root burn and other problems. Monitor the tree’s growth and adjust the fertilizer application accordingly.
The best time to prune the Tamukeyama Japanese Maple is in late winter or early spring, before new growth begins.
Use clean, sharp pruning shears to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Make clean cuts just above a bud or branch union.
Pruning can also be used to shape the tree and maintain its desired form. Remove any branches that are growing inward or interfering with the overall structure.
Dispose of any pruned material to prevent the spread of pests or diseases.
