    Taki no gawa

    ‘Taki no gawa’ is an Acer japonicum (full moon maple) sought after for its exceptionally large, very rounded leaves, giving an almost “tropical” look in the garden. The foliage opens green in spring, sometimes with an orange nuance, becomes a deeper green in summer, then delivers a spectacular autumn display ranging from orange to bright red. An excellent choice as a specimen or in a large container, for strong presence without becoming a giant.

    Tana

    ‘Tana’ is a Japanese maple with very elegant green foliage, highlighted in spring by pretty purplish-red tips that create a fine, original contrast. In summer, the plant turns dark green, then in autumn it develops a particularly luminous bright yellow colour. One detail that makes it unique: the leaves often tend to arch upwards, giving a different texture from a “classic” palmatum.

    Taro yama

    ‘Taro yama’ is a compact Japanese maple with very dense foliage, sought after for its naturally tight silhouette and its colour changes through the seasons. In spring, young leaves may emerge in yellow-orange/pinkish tones or green with a brick-red edge depending on conditions, then turn green in summer (sometimes darker, with a slightly bluish cast). In autumn, it transforms into a very intense scarlet red. An excellent choice for small spaces and container growing.

    Tatsuta gawa

    ‘Tatsuta gawa’ is a Japanese maple appreciated for its spectacular late season: after rather green foliage in spring and summer (sometimes with discreet brown-red tips at budbreak), it transforms in autumn into a luminous blend of orange and yellow, then can finish in scarlet red. A safe choice for anyone looking for an elegant palmatum that is easy to combine and outstanding in autumn.

    Taylor

    ‘Taylor’ is a very spectacular variegated Japanese maple in spring: the young leaves open in vivid salmon pink, on a lime-green and cream background. The pink tone then softens, but the variegation remains decorative all summer. Late in the season, the foliage often shifts towards lime / yellow-green tones before leaf fall. An ideal variety to bring light in a container or in the garden, in a sheltered position.

    Tombly’s red sentinel

    ‘Twombly’s Red Sentinel’ is a very upright, naturally columnar Japanese maple—ideal when space is limited. Its palmate foliage emerges bright red in spring, becomes purplish red in summer, then flares up red in autumn. A structural cultivar, perfect in a container, for an avenue/line planting, or for a small garden.

    Trompenburg

    ‘Trompenburg’ is a highly sought-after Acer palmatum for its deeply cut foliage with narrow lobes whose edges curl and droop, creating a very graphic, domed effect. The color starts purple-red in spring, stays burgundy to dark purple in summer (often nicely intense), then flares up in autumn to orange-red through crimson. An excellent choice as a specimen or in a large container, bringing original texture and long-lasting contrast.

    Tsuchigumo

    ‘Tsuchigumo’ is a Japanese maple with very refined charm: in spring, the young leaves emerge in rusty / reddish tones, then quickly turn bright green for summer. In autumn, it transforms into a luminous golden yellow, often edged with crimson. Its distinctive feature: leaves that are often slightly twisted or crinkled.

    Tsukushi gata

    ‘Tsukushi gata’ is a spectacular Japanese maple, thanks to the contrast between very dark foliage (purple-black to chocolate brown) and light green veins that create a bold, graphic pattern. In spring, the colour often starts brick red, then turns chocolate / purplish brown in summer, before an orange to scarlet-red autumn display. The green young stems and the samaras add extra interest. A rare cultivar, excellent in a container or in the garden.

    Tsuma gaki

    ‘Tsuma gaki’ is a Japanese maple highly appreciated for its spring foliage: yellow-green, marked with purple-red tips, as if each lobe had been “varnished” with red. In summer, the plant becomes a darker green, then colours in autumn in red tones (sometimes red-orange depending on conditions). Its compact, rounded habit makes it easy to use in a container as well as in the garden.

    Tsuri nishiki

    ‘Tsuri nishiki’ is an elegant Japanese maple with green foliage through the season, valued above all for its very colourful end of year: autumn often combines yellow, orange and red on the same plant. In spring, the young leaves may appear bronze/orange (or even pinkish on the very first shoots) before turning green. A versatile cultivar, interesting both in a container and in the garden, with a silhouette that is often upright and flared.

    Ueno yama

    ‘Ueno yama’ is a highly sought-after Japanese maple for its flamboyant budbreak: in spring, the young leaves emerge a brilliant orange, often with a fine red edging, creating a very luminous effect. The plant then turns light green to green in summer, before finishing in yellow-orange to orange-red tones in autumn. Its upright habit and dense branching make it an excellent subject for the garden as well as for container growing.
