Description

Providing an exotic look and feel in the landscape, ‘Trompenburg’ is an upright red Japanese Maple sporting unique leaves with curled lobes that resemble an open hand. The leaves emerge a very deep burgundy-purple in spring transitioning to a burgundy-red that holds its color well throughout the summer, even in full sun. With the arrival of cooler temperatures in fall the leaves become a glorious scarlet-red. A striking focal point in the landscape, Trompenburg adds around 10 inches in height per year reaching up to 20 feet with a vase-shape when all grown up.

Landscape & Garden Uses

To showcase its unique magnificence and beauty, the Trompenburg Japanese Maple is best used in the landscape as a focal point specimen to draw attention to a specific area of the home or landscape. That said, you can plant in groupings of three or use two to accentuate and entryway. Excellent for use in container gardens and bonsai.

Suggested Spacing: At least 20 feet apart for space between trees

Note: One Japanese Maple can make a landscape…that is if you don’t overcrowd it with other trees and large plants. Therefore, when selecting companions to plant under or around your Japanese Maple, make sure to select low-growing shrubs or groundcover plants that won’t interfere at all with your tree.

Growing Preferences

Though delicate looking, Japanese Maples are actually very tough and long-lived trees. They are very easy to grow. Container culture can extend their useful range. They are extremely easy to grow in containers, a practice taken to its most extreme form in the art of bonsai.

In their natural habitat, Japanese Maples are understory trees, growing in dappled forest sunlight at the edges of woodlands. Ideally they prefer to be grown in similar conditions. That said, Trompenburg is one that thrives in full sun. You can find a complete listing of our sun-tolerant Japanese Maple varieties here.

Most any average garden soil will grow Japanese Maples. They prefer a moist but well-drained soil rich in organic matter. As with so many other ornamental plants and trees, constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. So make sure to plant your Japanese Maple in a well-drained site.
