Bring a touch of Italian elegance into your garden with Villa Taranto Upright Japanese Maple, a rare Japanese maple with an exotic look that feels almost bamboo-like. This upright linearilobum selection is prized for its narrow, strap-like leaves that emerge with reddish-mauve tones in spring, shift to fresh green with red accents in summer, and blaze gold to orange in autumn. Its airy texture adds movement and softness while still commanding attention in the landscape.
Unlike most maples with broad, palmate leaves, Villa Taranto Upright Japanese Maple shows off long, slender lobes that ripple in the breeze, creating a graceful and delicate presence. Despite its refined appearance, this maple is sturdy and adaptable with an upright V-shaped habit that works beautifully as a specimen tree or border accent.
Named after the famous gardens in Italy where it was first discovered, Villa Taranto Upright Japanese Maple is a collector's dream for those who appreciate unusual forms of Japanese maples. Compact yet striking, this tree brings year-round interest—from reddish spring flush, to textured summer greens, to fiery fall displays. It's a rare find that transforms any garden into a work of art.

VILLA TARANTO UPRIGHT JAPANESE MAPLE Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips
- Recommended Soil: Best in rich, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Avoid heavy clay or waterlogged areas. Add compost or organic matter to encourage strong growth.
- Sun Exposure: Prefers morning sun and afternoon shade. Handles partial shade well; avoid intense all-day sun. Best foliage color develops with filtered light.
- Irrigation Needs: Requires consistent, even moisture. Deep water weekly during hot or dry periods. Mulch around base to conserve soil moisture.
- Feeding & Nutrients: Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Organic amendments like compost or leaf mold improve soil health. Avoid high-nitrogen feeds that encourage excessive growth.
- Pruning & Maintenance: Minimal pruning required—maintain natural shape. Remove dead, crossing, or congested branches in late winter. Ideal for bonsai shaping due to its narrow-leaf structure.
