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.
How Does Shipping Work?

Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.
Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
