Revel in Crimson Foliage With the Emperor Japanese Maple

Bold color meets dependable performance. The Emperor Japanese Maple brings deep crimson foliage that holds its color longer into the season, paired with a tougher constitution than many traditional maples. It’s a standout choice for adding structure and rich tone without demanding constant upkeep.

Growing to a manageable 12–15 feet tall, this variety fits comfortably as a front yard focal point, patio accent, or even a refined street tree. Its naturally upright habit keeps pruning simple, while its cold hardiness and sun tolerance make it a reliable pick in a range of landscapes.

Why You'll Love the Emperor Japanese Maple

Rich crimson foliage: Deep red leaves that hold their color through spring and summer
Improved hardiness: More resilient to cold and sun than many Japanese maples
Manageable size: Reaches 12–15 ft., ideal for smaller yards or defined spaces
Upright growth habit: Naturally tidy form with minimal pruning needed
Versatile placement: Works as a specimen tree, street tree, or focal point planting
Container-friendly when young: Suitable for large patio containers, adding color to decks and entryways

If you want the elegance of a Japanese maple without the fuss, the Emperor delivers steady growth, lasting color, and a structure that holds its own season after season.

Emperor Japanese Maple $99.95

I was looking online for a porch peach tree and found one on Family Grown Trees. I’ve never ordered a tree online but decided to try it. It shipped straight to my door in 4 days and was packaged nicely.

Stopped on our way home from Hells Canyon. Though it was at the end of their growing season, they still had nice plants a good selection. The gentlemen who helped us was friendly and helped us load everything into the truck 🚚! Including my big pot of 🪴🌿plants!!

Love a family business that knowdgeable, has great follow-up and is a connector to another small business.

Great website and product!! we are anxious to order again

Amazing quality! My plants showed up on time and are looking great. Now it time to plant and enjoy the fruits of labor.

I’ve ordered many trees and plants online, with fingers crossed that they will show up well. This was one of the best, thoughtfully packaged tree or plant I’ve received. Not to mention the health of the tree! I couldn’t be more excited! The plant people out there will get it 🌿🙏

Found Family Grown Trees online and ordered this key lime tree. I was super impressed with the shipping time.

Lovely, helpful employees! So many plants. I got an excellent deal on hanging baskets and i will be back! 😍🧡

OUTSTANDING!! 10 OUT OF 10. Forget what you know about a well run nursery, this place changes the rules. Knowledge, customer service, polite accommodating people. The owners are involved, and lead a fantastic team of hard working careing staff. You have a question, they have the answer. Do you like original, well done arrangements that will compliment the most particular patron? They have several options. Do you like original art? Welcoming environment? Knowledgeable staff? Easy accommodating shopping for your horticulture needs? They have all that and more. Will be back again and again. Stop in, see what you are missing. Flowers, trees, vegetables, custom arrangements, the list is long. This is not a paid review nor was this review solicited. People just need to know. Its that good.

I make my way from Meridian a few times a year for their plants. No one beats their selection and quality. The locally owned-Idaho native family environment is easy to want to support. The flower baskets are a highlight of my summer! They last well into the fall and have a vast variety of fun and creative looks!

Super helpful and great knowledge.
Drew was fantastic he delivered our trees and was very helpful in getting them in and answering any questions we had.

Inbound truck delivering here. Call ahead, they will help guide you in and clear room for you to park. Friendly and easy to work with, and went above and beyond what most places do when it comes to leaving little trace of the load in my trailer (drivers running floral loads know exactly how rare this is!!! ). Would work with them again in a heartbeat!

Good selection for end of season. Great prices!

Country Flower Nursery always has a great selection of trees, bushes, and plants, have never been disappointed. They are also about the only plant nursery around this area (not counting the big box stores that have garden departments). The staff here knows their plants well and are friendly to work with. I'll definitely be back!

Bought these flowers and some HUGE tomato plants. The people there are so sweet and helpful and all their plants are healthy and gorgeous! You'll have a hard time choosing because their variety is incredible.

Staff are informed and eager to assist. Amazing available product. Go visit this place! You will be glad you did.

Very nice selection of trees. Staff were helpful and even helped me load my purchase.

Always helpful

Bought a bunch of fruit trees from them and a small number of them didn’t make it through the winter but they took care of it fairly for us. Make sure and purchase the warranty!

Good place to go great selection of plants that are healthy

Definitely need to check this place out.

This place is amazing. Under new ownership this spring. Three huge greenhouses stuffed to the max with gorgeous healthy plants. The biggest and best selection of hanging baskets I have ever seen. We stopped at Zamzow's first and were very disappointed by the meager selection.

We have 6 large pots leading to our front door and we bought amazing flowers to fill them. The only place I have ever been that is semi comparable is Edwards in Boise. It is well worth the drive to the Fruitland exit to buy your plants and trees. Huge selection of EVERYTHING.

Last year bought our stuff at Fred Meyer, but it can't hold a candle to this selection, quality and price. I strongly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for the best quality and value.

Lots of parking and not overcrowded for easy shopping. Great employees. Very helpful!

Love this place. Worth the drive! So many beautiful flowers! Staff is amazing! Very helpful and knowledgeable.

Thank you for all your help Roger and staff. You have beautiful trees. We planted them today.

From mid March to mothers day they make the most GORGEOUS hanging flower baskets. Such variety and beauty. Pick one up for mom or your spouse.

My favorite store!

Great selection and good pricing. Friendly help.

Normally, early spring plants a bit spendy but great plants. Lots of Varieties!

Now: Good 1/2 price sale on flowers, veggies. Also made up baskets on sale, which good since they are a bit neglected.

Most all of the gals are real friendly & helpful...just a few, not so.

Tree's & Shrubs - Not on sale.

I found out about this place because they were clearing out inventory due to a lack of staff to care for it; but I will come back in future years because of the quality I found. The flowers are beautiful and the people are friendly and helpful. It is about a 30 minute drive from where I live, but it will be well worth it when I am trying to fill out my gardens each spring.

Great flowers and good prices 👌 👍

Great selection healthy plants and reasonable prices. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.
