The Garden Center at Down to Earth features familiar and unusual decorative Japanese maples. Japanese maples tend to stand out because they exhibit more vibrant color and combinations of color than regular maples and people often travel miles to see them each autumn. The color of their leaves varies from bright yellow to lime green to maroon as well as a mix of these colors which we refer to as variegated. Maples are one of the most sought-after plants for suburban gardens, not only for their colors, but also for the variety of sizes—from low growing and even ground covering maples to those growing to 18 feet tall or more and they can easily live for over 100 years. There is a species designed to thrive in almost every type of soil condition and because they are slow growing, those who want to use them in a garden are encouraged to purchase the largest one that will also fit their budget.
