Description

This is the tree-form version of the Scarlet Princess Japanese maple, an offspring of the ever-popular ‘Crimson Queen’ Japanese Maple. She shares many of the outstanding qualities of her parent but grows to only half the size, making her an excellent fit for smaller garden spaces and containers. While her mom slowly forms a weeping mound to a height of 10 feet tall and wide at maturity, Scarlet Princess vigorously grows to 3 to 4 feet tall and wide when young, maybe reaching 5 feet tall and wide feet over time. In spring, Scarlet Princess flushes bright orange-red thinly dissected lacy leaves on her widely ascending branch stems that turn to a deeper bronze-red as they mature. Summer colors can range from purple-red to bronze-tinted green, with bright red new leaves emerging throughout the season. With the arrival of cooler temperatures in fall, the leaves turn a stunning scarlet red.

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 home or landscape area. That said, you can plant them in groupings of three or use two to frame an entryway. Scarlet Princes is an ideal selection for landscape beds or in containers.

Suggested Spacing: At least 7 feet apart for space between trees

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

Growing Preferences

Though delicately looking, Japanese Maples are actually very tough, long-lived trees that are very easy to grow. Container culture can extend their useful range. They are easy to grow in containers, a practice taken to its most extreme form in the art of bonsai.

Japanese Maples are understory trees in their natural habitat, growing in dappled forest sunlight at the edges of woodlands. Ideally, they prefer to be grown in similar conditions. There are many sun-tolerant Japanese Maple varieties, one of which is Scarlet Princess.

Japanese maples will grow in most any average garden soil. They prefer 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.
