Japanese Maple

The tree I chose is a japanese maple. The japanese maple is a vibrant red in the spring and summer. The tree itself is green or brown. Mine is green, They can be from 2 to 30 feet tall. Japanese maple at full age like sunlight. This tree is significantly more expensive than other types of trees. The biggest factor is that most of them are grown as grafted plants. This adds significant cost to each one as seedlings are much cheaper to produce. That and yes they are slow growing. A single japanese maple tree can be $15,000. A four inch is $60 a five inch is $90 a 6 inch is $125. Animals that eat them are squirrels eating the bark or using it to line their nests, or deer rubbing their antlers against the tree bark, porcupine or another small animal.
