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.

  • Mature Height: 10-15' tall

Why plant Tsukasa Silhouette Japanese Maple?

Tsukasa Silhouette Japanese Maple is a dream for modern landscapes and smaller spaces. Most Japanese maples grow wide and spreading, but this one stays stylishly upright, forming a slender column of refined foliage that fits where other varieties would overwhelm. Through spring and summer, its rich burgundy leaves create a strong, elegant presence that adds contrast and depth to surrounding plantings. Come fall, the tree brightens with deeper red tones, adding warmth and drama. Tsukasa Silhouette is both space saving and stunning, giving gardeners the artistry of a Japanese maple without needing a wide footprint.

How to use Tsukasa Silhouette Japanese Maple in the landscape?

Use Tsukasa Silhouette anywhere you want vertical interest, rich color, and a sophisticated look. It shines beside entryways, along walkways, in narrow side yards, or as a pair flanking a patio or front door. It is also excellent in foundation plantings where horizontal space is limited, yet a focal tree is needed. In mixed borders, it adds height without shading out lower shrubs and perennials. Plant it where you can appreciate its clean lines and enjoy the way its burgundy foliage plays off green, gold, or chartreuse companion plants.

Frequently Asked Questions
