Notes

'Metamorphosa' Japanese maple (Acer palmatum 'Metamorphosa') is a tree for specimen planting, accent, and woodland gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes average to moist soil. It grows slowly and has a broad habit, so give it room to spread. Bees and birds visit it, and it is drought tolerant once settled. Deer tend to browse other plants first.

Pairs well with Woodland phlox, Japanese forest grass, and Oakleaf hydrangea.
