Description

If you like the Coral Bark Japanese Maple but don’t have room for it, meet ‘Fjellheim’ – he’s the dwarf cousin that can fit in much smaller spaces! So, how do you say “Fjellheim”? Well, the “j” is silent…so it goes like this: “FELL-Hime.” Anyway, we just call it the Dwarf Coral Bark Maple…and it is a dwarf…growing slowly over time to only 6 to 8 feet tall by about half that in width. Just as with its larger cousin, Fjellheim is year round color factory; the stems and branches turn an outstanding coral-red color throughout the cool season. In spring, lime green leaves emerge that contrast beautifully with coral-red bark. Yellow fall foliage is an extra-added color bonus. Will tolerate more sun than other varieties.

Landscape & Garden Uses

To showcase its magnificence and beauty, Fjellheim 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 plant one on both sides of an entryway to accentuate the entrance.

Spacing: At least 8′ 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.

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 groundcover plants 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 both the ground or 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, you can find a complete listing of our sun-tolerant Japanese Maple varieties here, of which Fjellheim 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.
