About Japanese, Maple Seed
Delicate, hand-shaped leaves on a layered, spreading frame make this graceful small tree a garden classic. Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum) brings fine texture to the garden all season, then lights up in fall with shades of gold, orange and scarlet. This small-seeded strain grows into the classic green-leaved form, and many growers raise it as rootstock for grafting named varieties. It is ideal for patios, woodland edges, containers and bonsai.

Tips
Pests & Diseases
Watch for damping off in flats and verticillium wilt in garden soil. Avoid planting where wilt-prone plants grew before. Leaf scorch is usually from sun or drought, not disease.
Aphids and scale can appear on new growth; rinse with water or use insecticidal soap. Japanese beetles may chew leaves in summer.
