Japanese maples and their Year-round Appeal
Sunday, June 7th, 2009Japanese maples always remind us of the autumn, but this is not an accurate picture of these lovely trees. They can flourish throughout the year, which makes them a plant of every season. The spring season gives them vivid colors like red and copper brown. These may sound too shocking colors, but shocking is not a right word for these lovely trees as they naturally adapt with the ambiance. In summers, the leaves get soft and light colours which add delight to the overall environment. Although the trees carry no leaves in the winter but their structure will be a fresh addition to the surroundings. The colourful stems of some maples will leave an impression on the senses of the viewer.
Adaptable Tree
Different types of Japanese maples can fit in different places and situations and their adaptability makes them handy all the time. Take the example of Weeping range, their bulgy shape appears to be dipping in water when planted near a pool or fountain. This lets the viewer wonder whether fountains are built to adapt with this charming tree. The smaller sizes are usually placed in the busiest parts of the home and offices. This increases their visibility and in this way their charm can be enjoyed by many people. Terrace is another important place in any building and we can add the taller trees here to make them more graceful. Moreover the larger trees can be utilized to make a lane, which will give the fresh feeling to anyone passing through them.
