Metamorphosa(R) Japanese maple (Acer palmatum 'Metamorphosa(R)') brings a constantly changing palette to your landscape, with finely cut, lace-like foliage that shifts from spring through fall. You can use it as a specimen, a patio focal point, or an elegant understory accent where its texture stands out against evergreens and broadleaf plants.

At maturity it stays compact for a maple, typically about 5-13 feet tall with a graceful, upright habit. Provide full sun to part shade; in warmer climates, afternoon shade helps reduce leaf scorch and keeps foliage looking crisp. Give it room to show off its branching and layered leaves, whether planted in a bed or featured near an entry or walkway.

Plant in moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Water deeply during dry spells, especially while establishing, and mulch to keep roots cool and evenly moist. Avoid sites that are hot, windy, or prone to drought stress. Once established, keep care simple: remove dead or crossing branches as needed and do any shaping while dormant.
