Acer Palmatum 'Emperor 1' Heat Tolerant Red - Specimen in the Garden! - JAPANESE MAPLES 

I have three mature, over 10 year old Emperor 1 Acers. All in large terracotta pots. Each Acer are located in different parts of my garden all having different exposures to the full Sun. One by my Pond enjoys almost a full day of Sunshine and it’s a beautiful Plum Purple, almost velvet looking leaves. One E1 is in a shaded location under the canopy of neighbouring trees, is a deep Claret Red and in the late Summer sunshine in the Autumn just illuminates the Autumn Fall colours. The third E1 is at the front of my property and is a nice deep red leaf. They are divine! But the late sunshine penetrates the leaves is akin to looking at red stained Cathedral glass as seen in Churches!

I have a crimson queen, emperor one, coral bark and bloodgood Japanese Maple. They are all in a same location morning Sun and late afternoon, the emperor one it's the only one that is not showing any kind of stress from Sacramento heat. But I love all of them.

Amazing colours even during the Summer Months (here in the UK). The afternoon sunlight makes the leaves glow a Ruby red, and once you see how bright these leaves glow then you can’t help raising a smile knowing that you’ve made the right decision in purchasing such a Maple. It’s a Maple that I’d certainly recommend!

I bought an Emperor I recently, can't wait for it to grow big and strong. MRMAPLE GIFTCARD

A classic! MRMAPLE GIFTCARD 🍁👍

Emperor 1 is in my top 5 all time for JMs, it's the one that started it all for me and is the centerpiece of my front yard

Great video! I like the 3 weepers comparison, what about a Bloodgood, fire glow, emperor 1 comparison video! Could through trompenburg in there too!

Just planted an Emperor 1 this year. Absolutely love the red Japanese maples, and have a couple varieties in the backyard already. Great channel, very helpful and informative, as I slowly plan out my new yard!

Fantastic tree. Mr Maple podcast 👌

Thank you for showing us all the videos!!!! Mr. Maple gift card!!!! ! God bless!!!!

I have a burgundy lace that drapes over my koi pond by my front porch and on each side of the house I have Emperor Ones. They are gorgeous.

Matt talking about trees sounds exactly like Malcom Reed talking about BBQ.

Awesome tree! Mr Maple Gift Card!

I have an Emperor I that I planted about 23 or so years ago. In the fall, the afternoon sun is behind it as you head up my driveway and it looks spectacular! It is a vibrant, glowing red that draws the eye from a distance and looks like it is lit from within. The only tree that rivals it is an Osakzuki that would stop traffic in the fall. That was at a different home. I think I bought this online from Dick Wolf’s nursery. I got lucky. I didn’t know what a treasure I was getting! Word to the wise, don’t plant it under a power line; it will get there before you know it and you will have to defend your tree from the power company when they trim periodically. It isn’t really a threat to the power lines as the branches that reach that high are small and light weight, but the people that subcontract for the power companies are not concerned with such things, only with shearing off anything that comes near the lines. If you happen to be gone when they come through, you might come back to a flat-topped tree that looks like the branches have been chewed off rather than cut cleanly. 😢 Mine has recovered its shape mostly, but it would be better to put slow-growing dwarf maples in such locations, or weeping, spreading cultivars. I didn’t know how big my Emperor I was going to get when I put it there and I want others to benefit from my Japanese maple gardening mistakes! I could plan a great Japanese maple garden now, but I might not be around to see it mature! 😂🤣😂

I ordered one of these this morning, and am rolling the dice in zone 10 in Southern California. Fingers crossed! #japanesemaples

Great content! Thank you for sharing!

I have it, could not be happier!!! thanks!

I must have one ….. or three!

Thanks for this information. In the Triangle, NC, area, in an area of full sun with high heat and humidity, this might be a tree that would finally survive in our yard. It would be thrilling to have a Japanese maple like this.

# Japanese maples!!!!!!! God bless!!!!! Have a great day!!!!!!!

I love these trees! MRMAPLE GIFTCARD

Thanks Matt and Tim, can You Please do a video on a Sazanami?

I keep hearing zones 5-8. I'm zone 9b and a local nursery is selling this and the Dissectum variety. I want to plant this in my screen near my pool area. But I face South West so it would get sun most of the day. The screen cuts the rays a heck of a lot. Going outside it is such a drastic difference. I have serious doubts this can handle the Orlando summers.

Great video guys 👍 do you have any large speciemens on the "HOT BLONDE" OR "HOT TAMALE" THAT YOU CAN SHOW US ❓KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK 👍

Been looking for a maple that can withstand a lot of heat / sun! Thanks for the info on this. Building myself a little lost up over here 😂 MRMAPLE GIFTCARD

I'm in zone 8 in coastal SC. I planted one in early May this year and it's done great. The Japanese beetles got on it, but we took care them pretty quick. Then over the last couple weeks we've had daily heat advisories. This tree gets about 6 hours of sun from 2pm to sunset. it gets water daily. Over the last few days, the leaves are turning brown and shriveling up. I think they got scorched. The branches are pliable and seem okay. Any thoughts? I thinking I just leave it alone, let the leaves drop this winter and pray for new growth in the spring.

I just bought an emperor 1. ❤

Great video guys! I'm new to Japanese Maples. I have an Emperor one and need to know about the root system. I don't want to plant it too close to the house if they have aggressive roots. MR. MAPLE GIFT CARD

Awesome video such a great tree thank y'all for sharing a specimen video on it!! I can't wait for a Dick Wolf deep dive on the podcast!!!! 😃👍🍁🎉🍁

Totally agree....I love mine but it doesn't get enough sun, I thought about moving it but it's really too big now for to handle it. It still gets vibrant in the fall but not too great of color in the summer.

How can you tell the difference between Bloodgood and Emperor 1?

Mrmaple giftcard;]

I'm in southwest Missouri and need something for my front yard that is West facing...it will be in 100% afternoon sun....as you know we can have extremes over 100 degrees and easily a good month or more in the 90s. Do you think these would be OK? There is no shade because we lost our big trees in a tornado this past May.

I am a beginner but picked one of these up today. it’s a few feet tall in maybe a one gallon size. I kind of want to keep it in a pot and be able to take indoors in extreme heat and or cold here in Kansas. Any thoughts on this idea?

Mr Maple 🍁 Gift Card!

Is there anyway you guys can tell us ages of trees when you show them? Also do you guys have a video of fire glow and Empire 1 compared. Thank you

I've been obsessed with these gorgeous trees the moment I first saw one. I'd love to have one but ive been hesitant due to the countless fails growing them in my area, Phoenix 9b. I have to at least try. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated, greatly 🙏

Which one to chose for zone 6 but windy area in Maryland. To be planted on east side hill slope. Bloodgood or Emperor 1?

#JAPANESE MAPLES #japanesemaples

How high temp can they grow in . I am in the caribbean and the temp gets up to about average 86f.

Can this survive afternoon sun in Zone 8A?

Love the series of heat tolerant JMs. Even after watching them and google searching, I am trying to find out if its worth getting an Emperor 1 here in the Jacksonville, FL area. Zone 9A and about 40 minutes inland (no salt) I have seen some people saying yes and some no. The main thing to worry about is that it will be full sun western facing, 20 feet from the house and 5 feet from the neighbors fence. I have a horrible Bradford Pear there now (previous owner put that train wreck in) and I want to get rid of it and put a decent shade tree that wont get too tall 20ft max. I was thinking Crepe Myrtle but those will also get messy on the driveway. Any suggestions?

Here in South Australia, I can get my hands on Emperor 1 and Shin Deshojo saplings. I'd like to go with the Shin Deshojo but I don't think it will be as hardy as the Emperor 1. Any experience with Shin Deshojo sun hardiness?

I bought two of these about 4ft high. How far apart should they be planted? I'm in southeast PA

What is the chartruse bush in front of matt and the pink shrub to his left?

Could you tell me if Atropurpureum japanese maple can handle full sun in zone 7b.

How tall are the 1 gallon trees?

I just read that Emperor 1 has whirlybirds. Is this true? I had a silver maple that wreaked havoc in our yard, flowerbeds and gutters. I had a bloodgood for 12 years and never noticed whirleybirds.

MrMaple Gift Card!

How tall does this one grow

Will it make zone 4
