How to Use Waterfall Japanese Maple in the Landscape

This petite tree could be the world's most perfect Bonsai candidate. You'll start with exceptional quality, and sculpt your new tree creation into a living work of art.

Do the same with a Waterfall planted in the landscape. Study your new plants to situate them for the best advantage.

Turn the pot this way and that, in order to best study their downturned branches. Each tree has a "face", so look for the aspect you want to present to the world.

People have been custom-fitting Japanese Maples to their spaces for many centuries, and you can, too. We offer a lot of expert pruning tips on our Garden Blog and on our YouTube channel.

Leverage their drooping branches in an organic embrace to amplify a garden sculpture or bench. Keep the look manicured...or allow it to become a free-form installation.

A single Waterfall Japanese Maple grows into a delightful specimen. With an elegant, horizontal branching habit, it is interesting even during winter!

Decorate small space gardens with their charm. Or, keep yours in an oversized outdoor container as a large potted patio tree.

Planting several trees together also makes a wonderful statement. Try a hedge of them in front of a mature Spruce or Pine tree, and you'll tell a compelling garden story.

As you can imagine, reflected Waterfall Japanese Maple trees are perfection itself. Weave them into place at the edge of a pond across from your seating area, and enjoy the lovely view with your morning coffee or tea.

At night, add exterior lighting pointed up into the canopy of your trees. Savor this sophisticated display, unwinding after a long day at the office.

This versatile choice can be used as a rounded shrub, as well. Include them in a thoughtful grouping, playing with size and shape to create an effective focal point.

Take this idea, and use it on a sheltered balcony. A series of container-grown Waterfalls will also become a noteworthy privacy screen as a welcome bonus.

Breathe life into your space by playing off their form, color, and texture. Try a pair flanking on either side of the entrance to a hidden garden path, and you'll gift your guests a heightened sense of anticipation for the experience.

#ProPlantTips for Care

In the cooler Zones, they'll do fine in full sun. But once you go further into the warmer temperatures, they need afternoon shade...ensure they receive at least four hours for the best color.

They need well-drained soil and prefer a slightly acidic pH. Mulch with pine straw or pine bark over the root systems, but pull it back away from touching the stem.

Our growers recommend Nature Hills Root Booster during planting, as the support never "wears out". The critical ingredients develop a symbiotic relationship with the tiny feeder roots and help in the absorption of micronutrients from the soil.

Provide an even schedule of moderate water. Container-grown trees can be set up on automated drip irrigation to keep it hands-free.

Prune to shape your Waterfall in early spring. Look for a swollen bud on the outside of the branch, then prune at a 45-degree angle just above it.

Waterfall Japanese Maple is a showy choice that delivers exceptional beauty day in and day out...all year long. Place your order today!
