Description

Prized for its glorious and long-lasting fall color display, ‘Emmett’s Pumpkin’ is a Full Moon Japanese Maple that will not disappoint. The large fat and rounded palmate leaves emerge orange-tinted in spring transition to a light to rich green by summer. With the arrival of color temperatures the leaves take on a golden-yellow hue then transitioning to orange shades before finally becoming a glowing orange-red. With a fall color show that is truly a site to behold, Emmet’s Pumpkin is a very special maple that lives up to its name and stands on its own in any setting.

Landscape & Garden Uses

To showcase its magnificence and beauty, a Japanese Maple is best used in the landscape as a focal point specimen to draw attention to a specific area of the home or landscape. That said, you can plant them in groupings of three or plant one on both sides of an entryway.

Suggested Spacing: At least 25 feet apart for space between trees over the long term

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 groundcovers 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.

The Emmett’s Pumpkin Japanese Maple is easy to grow in moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. We suggest some filtered sun or shade during the midafternoon hours in Zones 8 and 9. 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.
