Acer palmatum
One of 21 maple species native to Japan, Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum) boasts the most airy and delicate aesthetic of all. This "common" Japanese Maples have not only an uncommon grace and beauty, but they are also more rugged, faster growing, and more drought-resistant than other, named forms. The leaves of Japanese Maple are 2 – 4 inches long with 5 – 9 deeply cut fine-toothed lobes and are the source of the Japanese common name for the species, "Kaede" (meaning "frog paws").
As the Chinese proverb goes, "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is now." This small tree seedling is seed-grown on California's Redwood Coast and will start to leaf out upon arrival. With an average life span of 100 years, the Japanese Maple stays fairly small (usually around 25 feet tall) and provides year-round interest. Young spring growth is glowing red; summer's leaves are soft green; fall foliage is scarlet, orange, or yellow; and slender, leafless branches in greens and reds provide winter appeal. You can enjoy nurturing it and transferring to sequentially larger pots before transferring to the garden.

The Japanese maple kokedama is absolutely beautiful. I was worried that considering the heat wave in the south it would arrive dried out. It arrived in perfect condition.
