Red maple, swamp maple, water maple, Drummond red maple, scarlet maple, Carolina red maple, trident red maple, soft maple, Acer rubrum. Acer palmatum, commonly known as Japanese maple, palmate maple, or smooth Japanese maple, or momiji, is a species of woody plant native to Japan, Korea, China, eastern Mongolia, and southeast Russia. The Japanese maple tree is renowned for its striking leaves. Japanese maple leaves have five to nine palmate lobes that may come in green or red (or both). In the fall, Japanese maple leaves turn to brilliant shades of red, orange, yellow, or purple, varying in texture with wide lobes, finely dissected lobes, and a lacy, wispy appearance. The small, inconspicuous flowers are red or purple; these become a dry, winged fruit or samaras—half-inch long helicopter seeds so named for how they spin in the wind when falling from trees. Plant Japanese maple in the spring or fall. Give these trees extra attention in the first few years while they're getting established; after that, Japanese maple trees are easy-to-grow, low-maintenance, and hardy.
