New Moroxico 020: The Japanese Maples

I’m going to assume that many of you probably picked out a few favorite Japanese maples from the video and are now wondering whether they would be a good fit for your landscape, yeah?! πŸ˜„

So, I figured I’d make it easy for you β€” here’s a list of all the varieties I showcased, along with their maximum heights and widths (in feet):

Bloodgood: 15 - 20’ tall, 15’ wide

Crimson Queen: 8 - 10’ tall, 10’ wide

Autumn Full Moon: 8 - 12’ tall, 8’ wide

Shaina: 6 - 8’ tall, 8’ wide

Waterfall: 8 - 10’ tall, 10’ wide

Fireglow: 10 - 12’ tall, 10’ wide

Red Dragon: 5 - 8’ tall, 10’ wide

Emperor I: 10 - 15’ tall, 15’ wide

Orangeola: 6 - 8’ tall, 6’ wide

Tobiosho: 15 - 20’ tall, 15’ wide

Tamukeyama: 6 - 8’ tall, 10’ wide

Green Laceleaf: 8 - 10’ tall, 10’ wide

Seiryu: 10 - 15’ tall, 8’ wide

β˜€οΈπŸŒ€οΈπŸŒ₯️Don’t forget that in Texas, Japanese maples should never be planted in full sun! They will burn up. They prefer morning sun only and afternoon shade.

⭐️ Also, remember that these trees are famously slow growers, so I always take my dad’s advice β€” buy the size you want to enjoy… it’s likely to stay (roughly) that size for a while!

Happy gardening and I hope this helps!!
