Ukigumo Japanese Maple plant

The Ukigumo Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum 'Ukigumo') is a beautiful and unique deciduous tree or shrub that is known for its variegated leaves. The leaves emerge pale green in the spring with white spots and soft pink shades on the edges. As the leaves mature, they become more variegated, with some leaves being almost entirely white or pink. In the fall, the leaves turn yellow-orange before shedding to the ground.

The Ukigumo Japanese Maple is a slow-growing plant, typically reaching a height of 6-10 feet and a width of 4-8 feet. It has a compact, upright habit with short horizontal twigs. The plant is relatively low-maintenance, but it does prefer full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil.

To care for an Ukigumo Japanese Maple, water it regularly, especially during the first year after planting. Fertilize the plant in the spring with a balanced fertilizer. Prune the plant lightly in the late winter or early spring to remove any dead or diseased branches, and to shape the plant.

The Ukigumo Japanese Maple is a beautiful addition to any landscape. It can be used as an accent plant, in foundation plantings, or as a specimen plant. The plant is also a popular choice for container gardening.

Here are some tips for incorporating an Ukigumo Japanese Maple into your landscape:

  • Choose a spot with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil.
  • Space the plant 6-10 feet away from other plants, depending on the desired mature size of the plant.
  • Water the plant regularly, especially during the first year after planting.
  • Fertilize the plant in the spring with a balanced fertilizer.
  • Prune the plant lightly in the late winter or early spring to remove any dead or diseased branches, and to shape the plant.

Enjoy the beauty and uniqueness of the Ukigumo Japanese Maple!

Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.

We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.

Note
Please note that the plant will be shipped in its pot, securely fastened with multiple layers of clear tape to prevent any shifting or damage during transit. This ensures that the plant arrives to you with minimal damage, safely and securely. We have been employing this method for shipping plants for several years, occasionally using smaller pots for added safety and convenience during transit. It's important to understand that many plants enter a dormant state during the fall and winter months, resulting in the loss of most leaves and appearing dry or lifeless. This is a natural process, and come springtime, they will begin to regrow and thrive once again. Please be aware that due to regulations set by the Department of Agriculture, there are certain plants and sizes that we are unable to ship to California. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
