TSUKASA SILHOUETTE JAPANESE MAPLE
Acer palmatum 'Tsukasa Silhouette' is remarkably narrow with a tight columnar growth habit. Unlike most Japanese Maples that spread wide with a mounding habit, 'Tsukasa Silhouette' grows as a slender pillar, typically reaching 15 feet with a 6-foot spread. Its small, palmate leaves emerge a bright chartreuse green in spring, maturing to a rich deep green through the summer months. In autumn, it provides a spectacular finale, as its foliage transforms into a brilliant, fiery crimson red that holds its color well before dropping for the winter.
Tsukasa Silhouette Japanese Maple is prized for being one of the most heat and sun-tolerant Japanese Maples available, making it a viable choice for Zones 6-9. While it can handle full sun in many regions, providing some dappled afternoon shade is still recommended in hot climates to prevent potential leaf scorch. It enjoys moist, well-drained, and slightly acidic soil enriched with organic matter. Maintenance is minimal due to its naturally discipled form, and it requires very little pruning. Because of its narrow footprint, it is an ideal candidate for tight side yards, framing entryways or even growing in large, permanent containers.
