Product Description
Fall’s Fire Japanese Maple is a beautiful upright cultivar known for its finely textured foliage and exceptional autumn display. New growth emerges yellow-green with subtle pink coloring along the tips before maturing to fresh green through summer. Its smaller, deeply divided and serrated leaves give the tree a delicate, almost lace-like appearance while maintaining the structure of an upright Japanese maple.
As its name suggests, 'Fall’s Fire' truly shines in autumn, when the foliage develops brilliant shades of yellow and orange before progressing to fiery red. Its manageable size and upright form make it an excellent specimen for garden beds, woodland edges, patios, and Japanese-inspired landscapes.

Japanese Maple Care
Japanese maples thrive in well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Most varieties prefer morning sun with protection from intense afternoon heat, especially in warmer climates. Water deeply when needed, allowing the soil to remain moist but never waterlogged. For the best results, always consider the specific sun, size, and growing information listed in the Tree Details above.
