Description

Fascinatingly pretty in a cool way, the deeply divided leaves of the Fascination Japanese Maple look like those you might see on a lace leaf variety, but on steroids. The large, deeply divided, downward hanging toothed leaves appear light green edged-in red in spring turning slightly darker through summer with flushes of soft-orange new leaves. The real show starts with the arrival of cooler temperatures in fall at which time the leaves go multicolor in shades of orange, red and yellow. Interesting white striations appear on the bark and become quite prominent when older. A relatively fast grower, Fascination is an upright small tree with pendulous young branches that form a rounded cloud of foliage up to 15 feet tall and almost as wide when all grown up. One of our favorites of the more recent introductions, make sure to pick a nice spot for this distinct and fascinating beauty!

Landscape & Garden Uses

To showcase its magnificence and beauty, Fascination Japanese Maple is best used as a specimen in small to medium size landscape spaces to draw attention to a specific area. That said, you can plant in groupings of three or more in larger landscape spaces or use two to frame an entryway. Also easy to grow in pots, planters and other containers.

Note: One Japanese Maple can make a landscape…that is, if you don’t overcrowd it with other trees and plants. Therefore, when selecting companions to plant under or around your Japanese Maple, make sure to select low-growing shrubs or groundcovers that won’t interfere at all with your tree.

Growing Preferences

Though delicate looking, Japanese Maples are actually very tough and long-lived trees and are very easy to grow in the ground or in pots, planters or other containers.

In their natural habitat, Japanese Maples are understory trees, growing in dappled forest sunlight at the edges of woodlands. Ideally they prefer to be grown in similar conditions. Fascination is one that will grow in full sun in cooler summer climates but will appreciate some filtered sun or shade during the midafternoon hours in hot-summer climates.

Most any average garden soil will grow Japanese Maples. They prefer a moist but well-drained soil rich in organic matter. As with so many other ornamental plants and trees, constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. So make sure to plant your Japanese Maple in a well-drained site.
