Acer palmatum 'Mayday' (Mayday Japanese Maple)
A spectacular, highly sought-after dwarf selection, 'Mayday' is a true living sculpture that brings multi-season drama to small spaces, containers, and rock gardens.

  • Artistic Growth Habit: Ultra-short internodes create dense, overlapping, "shingled" layers of foliage for an instant bonsai-like, architectural look.
  • Breathtaking Spring Color: Emerges in early spring with a stunning palette of peach, soft pink, and bright golden-yellow.
  • Summer & Fall Interest: Spring pastels transition to a refreshing light chartreuse green in summer, followed by a brilliant orange-red finale in autumn.
  • Perfect for Containers: Slow growth rate makes it an ideal, low-maintenance choice for patio pots, small courtyards, and focal entryways.
