As an added bonus, their naturally diminutive stature makes them ideal for bonsai creations.Īlthough Japanese maples generally do not require pruning, you can trim these compact varieties to maintain their size and control growth.

Ranging from 1.40 to 2 meters in height, these smaller varieties stand apart from other Japanese maples that can grow up to 10 meters tall. Perfect for small gardens or container gardening on terraces and patios, certain compact varieties of Japanese maples provide a touch of drama and romance while remaining practically sized. If you want to experience the changing of colors in your own yard without having to plant cumbersome trees, or maybe your yard isn’t big enough to fit a large tree, the dwarf Japanese maple can give you vibrant colors throughout the spring, summer, and fall without getting too unmanageable for your landscape. Comforting in nature, the fall months are inspiriting with crisp breezes, everything involving pumpkin, and of course, the lush green foliage slowly change to striking oranges, reds, and yellows. There is always something a little magical about autumn.
