Japanese Maple – Acer palmatum 20 Tree Seeds | Brilliant Fall Color | Bonsai Favorite Hardy Ornamental Tree | Container Friendly | Stunning Autumn Display

Grow one of the most elegant and sought-after ornamental trees in the world. Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum) is prized for its delicate foliage, graceful branching, and spectacular fall colors in shades of yellow, orange, red, and deep purple.

This small-seeded type produces the same beautiful tree as large-seeded varieties — the only difference is seed size, not tree quality.

Japanese Maples grow 15–25 feet tall at maturity, developing a rounded to broad canopy with layered branching. Fast growing when young and slowing with age, they are ideal for bonsai, containers, patios, rock gardens, and landscape focal points.

In spring, subtle reddish-purple flowers appear, followed by decorative samaras. In fall, the foliage transforms into brilliant color, lighting up the garden before winter.
