JAPANESE MAPLE EMPEROR 1

Acer palmatum 'Emperor I'

Buy Emperor I Japanese Maple online. Emperor 1 is very similar to 'Bloodgood' in growth habit, although this tree has a lighter almost translucent quality to the leaves. It holds its red color well throughout the summer months, and has a brilliant crimson fall display. A very nice newer cultivar.

Our most heat tolerant Japanese Maple variety. Best choice for southern states.
