A narrow, upright Japanese maple that brings rich burgundy color and elegant structure to even the tightest garden spaces
FEATURES:
- Naturally columnar form perfect for narrow beds and small gardens
- Deep burgundy foliage holds strong color through the growing season
- Excellent fall display in red and wine shades
- Beautiful vertical accent for patios, entries, and foundation plantings
- Low maintenance with a naturally tidy shape
- Great option where traditional Japanese maples are too wide
- Ships on our trucks because of the size of the tree; does not fit in a box
Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip:
Plant Tsukasa Silhouette in morning sun with afternoon shade in warmer climates for the best leaf color and overall performance. In cooler regions, it can handle more sun as long as soil moisture stays consistent. Mulch the root zone to keep soil cool and retain moisture, keeping mulch away from the trunk. Prune lightly in late winter only if needed, since this maple naturally maintains a beautiful columnar form. This tree is perfect for framing views, creating symmetry, or adding height where space is limited.
