Acer palmatum 'Ueno yama'
Rare Ueno yama Japanese Maple Tree

Zones 5-9

If you are wanting to plant a spring interest tree that has an almost flowering effect with its foliage, this is the tree for you. 'Ueno yama' leafs out in the spring as a brilliant orange with red edging. This often gives an overall bright orange appearance when leafing out. This spring color matures to a bright yellow-green, then to a medium green for the summer. Fall color on 'Ueno yama' is a bright orange to red. 'Ueno yama' forms a mid-sized upright tree reaching 8-12 ft in 10 years.

"Ueno" is a park in Tokyo that was built on a hill often referred to as "Ueno yama" or "Ueno Mountain". 'Ueno homare' means "Pride of Ueno", which is essentially a different way of saying the same thing. 'Ueno homare' is the same tree as Ueno yama'. This park has been a place of celebrating Japanese culture, especially through the blossoms of the flowering cherry trees that reside at Shinobazu Pond and the main pathway for the park. Because of the spring blooming appearance described above, it is our best guess this is why this name was chosen. According to Yano's Book for Maples, this maple was first recorded in Shizen to Bonsai.

Healthy Ueno Yama

This Japanese maple arrived well even though it boxing was not suitable, it was just placed in a plastic box and boxed, soil came from around it. It had a little bend to it frame , but it took it upon myself to stake it up. In the picture you can view it. The tree is still young yet but time will tell about it’s growth and beauty.

My tree arrived quickly and was well boxed. I’ve had for about 3 wks and it’s very healthy and doing great. It’s the tall tree in the forefront with the red tag. I will be buying more from Mr Maple!
