This time of year, Japanese Maple trees have a beautiful display of red leaves that make any backyard stand out. You’ll know them when you see them - they’re quite a small species of tree with crinkled leaves ranging in color from green to orange and red, meaning they make a striking focal point in any outdoor space.
We heavily associate this tree with fall due to its recognizable red leaves during the season, but as it turns out, now is also the perfect time to plant them. According to gardeners, the cooler temperatures and ample rainfall during fall will help promote root development. Don’t wait too long though. You should get the tree planted before very low temperatures hit so it has time to establish its root system before facing extreme conditions.
