Why plant North Wind® Japanese Maple?

North Wind® Japanese Maple is a breakthrough in beauty and resilience. Developed through years of breeding, this hybrid combines the delicate, refined look of a traditional Japanese Maple with the cold hardiness of a Korean Maple. It can thrive where most Japanese Maples cannot, tolerating harsh winters and fluctuating temperatures. In spring, the new leaves emerge soft green with hints of red, maturing to lush green through summer before igniting in vivid shades of orange, scarlet, and red in fall. With its elegant shape and dependable performance, North Wind® brings timeless Japanese Maple beauty to more gardens than ever before.

How to use North Wind® Japanese Maple in the landscape?

North Wind® Japanese Maple adds a touch of artistry and grace to any landscape. Its modest size and elegant branching make it a natural choice for planting near patios, entryways, or in mixed garden beds where its colors can be appreciated up close. It also shines as a focal point in smaller yards or courtyards, where space is limited but impact matters. Combine it with evergreens for contrast, or pair it with hostas, ferns, or azaleas to create a layered, serene garden feel. Plant it where you can enjoy its fall display from your favorite window—it will be the highlight of the season.
