Acer palmatum 'Wolff'

Emperor I Japanese Maple is a hardy red-leaf maple known for its deep burgundy foliage and improved cold tolerance compared to standard Japanese maples. It leafs out later in spring, helping avoid frost damage, and holds rich color through the season before turning bright red in fall. Ideal for focal plantings and refined landscape designs.

  • Later leaf-out reduces frost damage risk
  • Brilliant red fall color
  • Excellent focal / specimen tree

Specs

  • Mature Width: 12–15 ft
  • Sun: Full sun to partial shade (best color with some sun, protection from harsh wind)
  • Growth Rate: Moderate
  • Zone: 4–8
  • Form: Upright / rounded

Spacing Guidance

  • 12–15 ft spacing
  • 8–12 ft off structures


Why Japanese Maples Stand Out

  • Strong Color Impact Deep reds, purples, and seasonal color changes create contrast and draw attention.
  • Unique Forms From upright trees to cascading weeping varieties, each adds structure and movement.
  • Perfect Focal Trees Ideal for entryways, patios, and front yards where a single tree needs to stand out.

Our Japanese maples are selected for cold hardiness and structure. We focus on varieties that perform in New England, not just look good in a catalog.
