Acer palmatum, commonly known as Japanese maple or smooth Japanese maple, is a deciduous shrub or small tree that is native to Japan, Korea, China, eastern Mongolia, and southeast Russia. It has palmate leaves with five to nine lobes that may come in green or red (or both), depending on the variety and season. The leaves turn to brilliant shades of red, orange, yellow, or purple in the fall, creating a stunning display. The flowers are small, red or purple, and produced in clusters in spring. The fruit is a pair of winged samaras that spin in the wind when falling from the tree. Acer palmatum can grow from 2 to 25 feet tall and wide, depending on the cultivar and growing conditions. It can have a round, mounding, vase-like, cascading, or upright shape. It may also have a weeping form. Acer palmatum is a versatile and ornamental plant that can be used as a specimen, bonsai, hedge, screen, or container plant. It can also be planted in groups or mixed borders to create a woodland or Japanese-style garden. It prefers partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. It is hardy in zones 5 to 9 and can tolerate some drought and frost once established. However, it may need protection from strong winds and extreme temperatures.

This is the first time I purchased from TAPS and I was so happy with the quality of the plants. It made a beautiful gift for my mum who has been searching for a cardamom plant for so long. I will definitely purchase from them again

Ginkgo biloba

A very good quality Ginkgo biloba was delivered within four days of my placing the order. It is well-priced and a more substantial plant than I had anticipated. A bonus was that the Nursery member of staff who delivered the Ginkgo was delightful and courteous.

Healthy plants and quick delivery.

I ordered 22 Escallonia plants shortly before Christmas for a new informal hedge. The plants arrived quickly and are all very healthy and of a similar height. I’m extremely happy with both the plants and service provided!
