OMURE YAMA JAPANESE MAPLE

Acer palmatum 'Omure Yama' is a beautiful Japanese Maple often referred to as the 'weeping willow' of maples due to its unique, pendulous growth habit. Unlike many weeping maples that stay low to the ground in a mounding habit, 'Omure Yama' grows upright with a strong central leader before its long, slender branches arch outward and cascade down. It typically reaches a mature height of 15 feet with a 12-foot spread, creating a soft, umbrella-like silhouette. The deeply divided, palm-shaped leaves emerge a bright lime green with hints of orange in the spring, maturing to a rich emerald in summer, and finally transforming into a breathtaking display of brilliant gold, fiery orange, and crimson in the fall.

Omure Yama Japanese Maple thrives in dappled shade or a location that receives morning sun and afternoon protection, especially in hotter climates where the delicate leaf tips can scorch. It enjoys moist, organically rich, and well-drained soil with a slightly acidic pH. While it is hardy in Zones 5-9, it should be sited in a spot protected from strong, drying winds as they can damage its branches.

Planting Tips ⓘ

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Select a site with dappled shade or morning sun and protection from strong winds to preserve its delicate cascading foliage and brilliant autumn color. Dig a planting hole two to three times the width of the root ball and set the specimen so the root flare sits slightly above the soil surface to ensure optimal gas exchange for the roots. Backfill with well-drained native soil, water thoroughly to settle the roots, and apply a 2-inch layer of organic mulch while keeping it clear of the trunk to prevent bark decay.
