Description

An outstanding addition to a Japanese garden or near patios and other outdoor living spaces where this rare beauty can be admired from close up, the Black Lace Japanese Maple really is as dark as its name, displaying the darkest color leaves and bark of any other cultivar in our gardens. A small upright tree that all grown up might reach 12 feet tall and 10 feet wide. The deeply cut 7-lobed leaves emerge and unfurl a deep purple-red darkening in color as the season progresses. The more sun the darker the color. The leaves really look dark on cloudy days and after a rain. With the arrival of cooler temperatures in fall the leaves gradually change to stunning shades of orange and deep red and finally to a brilliant orange. The upright reaching branches and stems are a deep reddish-purple color as well providing interest in the garden during winter. Tolerates full sun in cooler climates but will appreciate some filtered sun or shade during the mid afternoon in hot climates. A winner in the garden that will not disappoint!

Landscape & Garden Uses

To showcase its magnificence and beauty, the Black Lace Japanese Maple is best used in landscape design as a focal point specimen to draw attention to a specific area of the home or landscape. That said, in larger landscape spaces they can be grouped or two can be planted to frame an entryway.

Suggested Spacing: At least 15 feet for space between trees

Container culture can extend the useful range of Japanese Maples. They are extremely easy to grow in containers, a practice taken to its most extreme form in the art of bonsai. Click on the link below under Helpful Articles for Japanese Maple container planting instructions.

Note: One Japanese Maple can make a landscape…that is, if you don’t overcrowd it with other trees and plants. Therefore, when choosing companions to plant under or around your Japanese Maple, make sure to select low-growing shrubs or groundcover plants that won’t interfere at all with your tree.

Growing Preferences

Though delicate looking, Japanese Maples are actually very tough and long-lived trees. They are very easy to grow in the ground or in containers.

In their natural habitat, Japanese Maples are understory trees, growing in dappled forest sunlight at the edges of woodlands. Ideally they prefer to be grown in similar conditions. That said, you can find a complete listing of our sun-tolerant Japanese Maple varieties here, of which Black Lace is one!

Most any average garden soil will grow Japanese Maples. They prefer a moist but well-drained soil rich in organic matter. As with so many other ornamental plants and trees, constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. So make sure to plant your Japanese Maple in a well-drained site.
