Japanese Maples: All of our Japanese maple
trees grow in Zones 5-9, this is the "Coldest Zone" and
"Warmest Zone" listed for the Bloodgood species. the seed
we sow is from the Acer Palmatum "Bloodgood" species.
This is the most sought after "Ornamental Tree" you can
buy. And one of the most expensive. In nature it takes 3
years for a Japanese maple tree seed to sprout.
Japanese Maple “Bloodgood” is one of the best known red
leaf Japanese maple trees.
It is considered to be more heat tolerant than many red leaf
Japanese maple trees, also known as the “ever red” it will
give you a deep maroon color all summer long, with red
trunk & branches for winter interest. It has large red leaves
and is an upright growing Japanese maple tree, reaching
20 feet on maturity. Medium grower approx. 12"+ / year.

| Maple Mountain Tree Farm takes a more conservative approach to Hardiness Zones because Zones 5-9 are where Japanese maples thrive and we want you to have an enjoyable experience with your new Japanese maple tree. On the other hand, J.D. Vertrees, the leading authority on Japanese maples, writes on page 47 of his world renowned book Japanese Maples, Quote "In North America these plants thrive in the soils and climates ranging from the rain-forest type of the Pacific Northwest to the very warm climate of southern California, and from upstate New York down the Atlantic seaboard to the southern states and throughout the Midwest. In Europe, they grow in the warm Mediterranean conditions of Italy, in the almost-pure-peat soils of Boskoop, Netherlands, and in the varied soils in Britain. They also thrive in many parts of Australia and Asia" UnQuote. After reading J.D Vertrees' scientific research on Japanese maples one begins to understand the versatility of these beautiful trees." Vertrees' lengthy research also shows that with correct mulching, "The exposed parts of most Japanese maple cultivators, once established, can withstand winter freezing and air temperatures down to minus 18 degrees Celsius (0 degrees Fahrenheit) and below. The roots, however, can only survive to minus 10 degrees Celsius (14 degrees Fahrenheit)." So Mulching properly is very important for both heat and cold temperatures.

Our trees are first quality field grown specimens. They are grown
outdoors all year long & never placed in a "Hot House" to speed
their growth. In nature the seed takes 2-3 years to sprout. They
must be stratified to sprout within a year. They are then transferred
into 2 " pots for 1/2 season then 4" pots which are buried to protect
the roots from extreme temperatures. 2-4 inch pots are perfect
sizes to start a Bonsai project. $5.00 -$7.50. This size are 3- 6
inches tall.
After 1 year they are then potted up to a 1 gallon pot, tree size is
6-12 inches. The tree has now been cared for from seed for 2
years. $15.00 - $25.00.
In year 3 year a 3 gallon pot, over 12". Now the trees have become
too big & expensive to ship and are available only to our local
customers. They can then spend a couple of years in a 3 gallon pot
underground. ( 5-7 year old tree) $40.00 each year thereafter the
tree becomes more valuable.
We do reserve some Bonsai sized trees that can grow to 12-18
inches tall, for shipping. These trees must have their roots trimmed
annually in order to keep them in smaller pots. We have a very
limited supply. $29.99.
The leaves start out very red in the spring and fade slightly to a
purple in the summer and then turn an intense red in the fall. This
tree thrives in average soil conditions.

Our trees are dug from zone 5. We at Maple Mountain Tree Farm have been
cultivating these specimens, from seed, for years.
None of our trees are ever been placed in a Green House or "hot house" to
speed growth over the winter, which is what you may find at most of your
local tree vendors.
You could pay $100.00 for a tree and find that it soon dies after you plant it.
You would have lost time and money. This is because such trees came out
of a Green House and are very fragile to real life conditions. It leafed out
early and once you planted it, it goes into shock.
NOT OUR TREES!! We have sold hundreds of these
trees locally, and on EBay to very satisfied customers.
