Emperor1® Japanese Maple, Wolff Japanese Maple

Acer palmatum Emperor1® ('Wolff')

Emperor1® outperforms Bloodgood, it holds its deep red-purple colour better in summer heat, is two weeks later to leaf out (avoiding late frost damage), and develops a blackish-red bark that adds winter interest no other red maple offers.

  • Dark red foliage maintained well through spring and summer, superior colour retention compared to similar cultivars
  • Brilliant scarlet fall colour
  • Bark has a distinctive blackish-red tone that provides interest in the winter landscape
  • Leafs out approximately two weeks later than other upright reds, a natural defence against late frosts

Growing & Maintenance Tips
Best planted in a well-drained soil with high organic matter. Japanese maples are grown as specimen trees or multi-stemmed plants. Any pruning should be done in summer. Mulch well, but avoid heaping mulch against the stem. Most cultivars need full sun or light afternoon shade.
