The Nomura-Nishiki Japanese maple (Acer palmatum 'Nomura-Nishiki') is a captivating deciduous tree known for its rich, dramatic foliage and graceful form. In spring, its deeply lobed leaves emerge in shades of deep burgundy and purple, creating a striking contrast against the green landscape. Throughout summer, the foliage maintains its bold, dark hue, making it a standout feature in any garden. As autumn approaches, the leaves turn into vibrant shades of crimson and fiery red, offering a spectacular seasonal display. Growing to about 10 to 15 feet tall, with a rounded canopy, this tree adds a touch of elegance and drama to both small gardens and larger landscapes.
This Japanese maple thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soil and does best in partial shade, particularly in hotter climates where full sun can cause leaf scorch. Its compact size and vibrant coloring make it a versatile choice for use as a specimen tree or as part of a mixed border, bringing color and texture to the garden year-round. They’re hardy from zones 5-9. They also make excellent bonsai specimens. Each pack comes with basic instructions for germination.
I’m a USA seller which means faster shipping times as well as higher quality seeds. A vast majority of my seeds either come from my garden, from my neighborhood or in the local area. If not, I’ve acquired them on trips around the country. I’ve tested and grown many of these myself.
