Why Emperor Japanese Maple Trees?
From its brilliant crimson red color to its hardy strength, the Emperor Japanese Maple Tree lives up to its name as the leader in rich hues and easy, effortless growth.
Known for its strength and vigorous growth, the Emperor is one of the hardiest Japanese Maple varieties available. With its height ranging between 12 to 15 feet at maturity, the Emperor’s convenient stature makes it large enough to plant as a street tree or yard specimen yet compact enough to suit most planting locations. What’s more, its upright growth is easy to maintain.

Emperor maple. Good tree.
Arrived in about a week. Well packaged. Tree looks good. Some leaves on the top part of the tree came in dry, I can only assume that was due to the 1 week travel time. All in all I am happy with this purchase. Thank you FGT.

Beautiful. We planted it in early August of last year. It made it through the winter and is gorgeous!
Emperor 1 Japanese Maple 4-5 foot
Emperor 1 Japanese Maple Tree 3-20-2023 Order and service by Fast Growing Trees was excellent. Carrier service not so good, box had softball size hole side of box, hopeful tree was not damaged by poor handling. Maybe I should have gotten insurance, time will tell. I am truly happy with my purchase. Love the slender tree. I immediately planted, watered staked in the ground at its final home. I used a moister meter and ground temperature gauges to decide watering and care. March in Pennsylvania went from 70 degrees to 22 degrees on the fifth morning. I covered my prize with burlap, sheet and waterproof tentage wrapping, (Removed each day when temperatures rose above 32 degrees. I am hopeful. This tree is a fitting replacement for a 70-year-old Silver Maple.
Received tree on 10/02/23 and
Received tree on 10/02/23 and planted the same day. So far, I am well pleased with the tree. I would be able to give a better review if it survives the winter.
