Fall Planting Spotlight
Japanese Maples
Few things compare to the sight of a Japanese maple (acer) turning color in the fall. Multiples sizes, colors and forms make them an indispensable part of the Pacific Northwest landscape.
Spring and fall are the two best times to plant a tree. Japanese maples are no exception. When you plant a Japanese maple in fall, it will not only bring fantastic color to the landscape, but it will also start to establish itself in time for winter, when all of the tree's energy will be directed at establishing a strong root system before spring, when foliage will start to emerge.
