Japanese laceleaf Maples are attractive deciduous shrubs or small trees with a low spreading mound shape and distinctly divided lacy leaves. Young foliage is deep crimson red and matures to purple red and holds its color quite well.
Japanese Maples prefer moist, organically rich, slightly acidic, well-drained soils and grow well in full sun to partial shade, but they'll do best in an area with some afternoon shade. Makes a good dappled shade understory plant. They work well as specimen plants near a patio or entryway or a stand-alone tree. Avoid hot-dry sites and protect from strong winds.

Coral bark Japanese Maple is a slow to medium-growing deciduous tree with a vase-like shape. The bright lime-green foliage in spring turns to a creamy yellow-gold in the fall. This cultivar is noted for its coral-red bark which is particularly showy in the fall and winter after the leaves drop. Bark color intensifies in cold weather. Prefers moist well-drained soil, but will tolerate a large range of soil types. Drought tolerant. Winter bark color is best in full sun to modest shade. Excellent specimen or small space tree.

Emperor I is similar in color, leaf structure, and growth habit to the Bloodgood Japanese Maple. However, it holds its red color better throughout the summer and has a brilliant crimson-red color in the fall. It leafs out later than a Bloodgood thus lessening the chance of frost damage. It makes a great specimen plant, and is perfect for smaller city landscapes, since it provides privacy without getting too big. Prefers slightly acidic and well-drained soil. In our part of North Carolina, a little afternoon shade is recommended and mulch would definitely help.
