Acer palmatum ‘Osakazuki’ Perfect Bright Red Fall Color on a Japanese Maple!
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 09. 2024
- Acer palmatum Osakazuki is a striking Japanese maple renowned for its large, amoenum-style leaves. It emerges in spring with light green foliage that deepens to a rich, full green by mid-summer. However, its standout feature is its brilliant, vibrant red fall color, often described as among the brightest of all Japanese maples. Growing to about 12-14 feet in 15 years, it forms a mid-size upright tree that serves well as a focal point or shade provider for smaller maples. Osakazuki pairs beautifully with laceleaf varieties in golds and yellows, and particularly complements Acer palmatum dissectum 'Waterfall'. Another classic pairing is with Acer palmatum 'Hogyoku', which contrasts Osakazuki's bright red with bold orange foliage in the fall. This variety thrives in zones 5-9, tolerating both cold and heat well, though it benefits from some afternoon shade in hotter climates. Osakazuki's name derives not from Osaka, Japan, but rather from a Japanese drinking cup due to its vivid red fall color, making it a beloved choice for landscapes seeking intense autumn hues.

Red and this tree is the best red in my opinion
I found out about Osakazuki in one of Charlie's Amazing Maple Crazy Conifer garden tour videos, it was the most eye popping color out of the whole collection. I immediately started researching Osakazuki after that.
nothing really beats seeing a plot of land that has all the colors and sizes. just and orgy of color from light green, yellow, orange pink, red and crimson. some are even variegated. it's almost to the point where you don't even really need annuals or anything that flowers.
I have one but I bought it this winter so it doesn't have any leaves yet. I can't wait to see it leaf out in a couple of weeks! Certainly this fall red color is the best I've ever seen, a sight to behold.
Best autumn colour of all trees on planet earth i believe. Nothing matches osakazuki. The leaves are almost luminescent in autumn.
It is beautiful. I think another tree that ties it would be a sourwood.
You are so lucky to be able to see this every year! Fantastic feast for the eyes.
Red is my favorite color and that tree is beautiful!
YEEEESSS! I bought an Osakazuki this year to be the main shade tree for my other Japanese Maples, very excited to see this video from you guys! I planted it in the sunniest part of my yard in zone 8b, hoping it can take the full sun and thrive.
Where do you live in 8b? I just purchased one as well for 7a in Tulsa, OK. We have very hot and humid summers. I'm nervous about it in full sun.
@@jeffzimmerman25 I’m in Eugene Oregon, it’s fairly mild here all year with some hot weather in July/August. Usually nothing above 100*. I think you be fine, I’ve heard it Osakazuki can take half day sun in zone 9.
@@jeffzimmerman25Can we get an update? Does it do well in the heat? I’m in Tulsa as well thinking about getting one.
They REALLY ARE that color. I have one in my back yard that borders up to a walking path. Last fall people were ringing the doorbell asking 'WHAT *IS* THAT!?' I'm going to have to get one of those labels for it that arboretums use...
God bless!!!!!!! Have a great day!!!!!!! # Japanese maples!!!!!!!!
This is one that I’ve added this year- so looking forward to witnessing the growth and color changes throughout the seasons.
Thanks for another great video.
This channel is amazing great knowledge.thanks.🎉
I have bought today my first osakazuki!! I like it!!!
I Dig MrMaple!!!
This is an absolutely beautiful tree
Enjoy the orange color the most. But truthfully they are all beautiful in their own rights.
I seem to want one of every Japanese maple variety I see!👍🏻👍🏻😄
I am so intrigued by bark, color and shape of Japanese maples and your story. I have so many that it is embarrassing to say and yet I think I need MORE! It would be helpful to know which would tolerate zone 9 as you introduce us to possible plants. Thank you. J.F
I have placed my osakazuki behind my “baby blue spruce”. Wow!
This a great tree. I have one in my Japanese garden that I'm slowly developing. Thank you for the pairing suggestion. I'll have to keep my eye out for them!
Amazing !!!! Red!!
It’s really pretty next to any yellow fall leaf maple
Hi I just like to say I quite enjoyed watching your video I thought was brilliant And I like to say that that Maple tree is absolutely outstanding I love the colour I must get myself one of them thank you for sharing the video with us and keep up the good work brilliant😍😍❤❤❤
Wow your tree beautiful 👍♥️
Osakasuki is phenomenal does well in Nordheim Texas zone 9a # Japanese Maples
I DIG MRMAPLE!!!
I love contrast opposed to strictly yellow, reds or oranges.
Yes! My Osakazuki is between a Viridis and a coral bark Japanese Sunrise, both green in summer and orange in the Fall.
PLEASE consider shipping to Canada!!!
I dig Mr Maple!!
Who doesn't? LOL
MRMAPLE PODCAST !!!!!
Great info!
I'm hoping you guys have some larger sizes of Osakazuki next year!
I just planted my osakazuki this morning in my front garden. Cross fingers I will have the same quality bright firery red in autumn.
That's great, Rodelio! How is it doing? Has it grown much in these two years?
I like all these colors, the only problem, I live in zone 9B, Orlando, FL.
They need shade bud they work in zone 9
Red for Autumn colour
Yes
hey guys, I just started collecting Japanese Maples (7 so far). I'm so glad I found your videos, I know I have tons of info to learn. Thanks for helping pick up all the tips I need to know..... I know you guys are in Western N.C.....I'm in central NC and would love to visit on my next trip back home to. Cherokee, NC..
#Japanesemaples awesome 👌
Hey guys, Love the content. As a bonsai enthusiast I would love to see you cover your trees from a bonsai artists perspective, but that's just me.
Thx again
There are plenty of cultivars out there with outstanding fall color. No pun intended, it is naturally easy to say something is the best of X, only until we discover something else we perceive as better.
True we have around 1500 cultivars of Japanese maples here so lots of experience to compare to :)
Mr. Maple gift card!!!! God bless!!!!!!
Thank you for this video. Gorgeous red! Can I grow this in a container? Thank you :)
got my first one last year to add to collection 😊
Great! How it it doing? Any progress in these two years?
WOW♥️♥️♥️ #japanesemaples
Beautiful ❤️

Really nice video.
Looking for wedding cake tree. Prefer varigated pink maples. Love this. Saw a Midnight maple today very pretty.
How is Osakazuki different from Sango Kaku? Thank you for the awesome video! 👏👏
They are extremely different. Check out our video on Sango kaku. Sango kaku is known for its red bark and goes to a bright yellow in the fall. It also has very small leaves compared to Osakazuki
Would love to get a few when they are back in stock
I have 2 of those, we are in South Germany. They are growing like crazy. I wonder how big they can get? They are standing near the house, i could not ever cut them off.
12 - 15 Foot in 15 years. Thanks for watching.
WOW!
Are they standing in front of a backdrop? 🤔 That tree is UNBELIEVABLY RED!!! 😳
No it’s real :)
I've got this one from Mr. Maple. It is the largest one I have from Mr. Maple. Leaving out in Boston.
Guys, when is the best time to plant in the ground? My JM’s are in large pots now.
Thanks
so beautiful it looks fake, is it good for bonsai
Which yellow and orange fall color maples did you recommend to place next to these? I wanted to find the correct spellings. Thank you
Hogyoku is a great orange. Rikuzen shidare is a great yellow bud weeping. Ichigiogy is also a nice yellow
#japanesemaple #maplesrule 🍁
Looking for red now.
What's the tree that similar to Osakazuki? But it turns a bright orange fall color and are sometimes paired together for contrast.
Hogyoku
I LOVE this tree!! I live in a zone 3 (Wallowa Mountains of Oregon). You mentioned zone 5 for this tree, some sites say zone 3. Can it thrive in zone 3? I am looking to line a drive way with something that wont outgrow around 25-30ft. I have ruled out Autumn Blaze Maple and Mountain Ash... Any suggestions?
No typically only zones 5-9 unfortunately
If you had to pick out of an Osakazuki or Emperor One for a hot climate (Australia) what would you go for?
Emperor 1 would be my choice but both do well
@@MrMapleShow thanks! Loving your channel 👏🏻
Will it survive in the Texas heat? Looks so pretty!!!
Depends on what part of Texas for sure. These work zones 5-9
We just had an 80yo oak tree out of our neighbors yard fall last week and take out our 8-9' Osakazuki. We had it about 6-7 years and pruned into a great shape. Was one of our favorites with amazing color. We can't find a replacement that size anywhere. We can't even find small ones in our area now. Any suggestions?
So sorry to hear that. If you had it for 6-7 years... It will be hard to find something that size. I'm afraid you'll have to buy a smaller one and be patient until it grows to the size you want.
Is it possible that is end you a photo of my tree? I bought a young tree, and although it says, “OsakaZuki,” I’m trying to figure out if it is through the leaves. The leaves of my tree are more jagged :(
You can email a photo to our office.

@@MrMapleShow Thanks for your help.
Hi Guys, I know you are the maple expert. Would you please tell me the reason why my Osakazuki maple tree is not that bright red in autumn? The leaves turn dark red before falling off the tree in early winter. I bought it in 2021 summer. It's healthy and I live in zone 8b. Thanks a lot.
Hey Mr Maple do you know when you might be getting osakazuki in stock? Needless to say this is a sought after tree.
Beautiful. Can this Osakazuki tree will do fine on zone 10?
Zones 5-9
@@MrMapleShow what happened if we plant this maple tree in zone 10, it will not survive?
It’s a very very resistant tree, is tolerating the full sun. Sometimes show up a few leaves burned but the rest always are in good shape.
What were the other trees that pair well? You mentioned two.
Does purple goest and flouting cloud and osakauke have seeds
They can
Hi love the video. At 2:55 you mention an orange Acer palmatum , a "classic pairing" but I can't tell what it is. "Hogo ku? Could you clarify? Thanks :) (As an aside, I cant get your website to work).

Check your settings as we do have a pop up. It is working for sure as we take lots of orders each day. If maybe pop up setting but try a different web browser and see if that helps also. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@MrMapleShow Hi thanks for the reply. I think the issue is that your site is not working in the UK. I suppose this doesn't matter much as Im' guessing you don't send maples overseas but definitely worth asking your tech guys to look into if you want to export. On both Chrome and Safari I get a "suspected unsafe site" warning. Not sure if this impacts just the UK or other countries too.
Hogyoku is the name of that weird variety
Do y'all sell hats with your Nusery name on it?
Hi, do you happen to know if you are getting this Osakazuki tree on stock? Please let me know. Thank you!
I do not know the exact date but we will again for sure. You can get notified by email on the Osakazuki page on MrMaple mrmaple.com/products/buy-acer-palmatum-osakazuki-japanese-maple?_pos=1&_psq=Osaka&_ss=e&_v=1.0
@@MrMapleShow Thank you. I'll keep checking.
Hi. Could you tell me if Osakazuki can handle full sun / south sun in zone 7b. I live in Saltlake City, Utah. Thanks!
@@BeautifulMaplesAndShrubs I would think so but heat index will be a better indicator in your area as zones only confirm how cold it gets
How about 100 F?
Any of you guys have bought this kind of maple from mr. Maple? If you do how good they are
Bright red or hot pink
I've heard that Maple trees in general shouldn't be planted too close to a building because of the roots. Is this true of the Japanese Red Maple as well?
Some different maples can be of issue but Japanese Maples do not. Acer palmatums do not have invasive root systems and can be planted without concern to structure.
@@MrMapleShow - Thank you for your reply. That really helps!
Can this be used in a container?
Yep! All of mine are in pots. I have one 6ft Osakazuki in one large 300ltr pot with the required suitable compost with good drainage.
What is the difference between ‘Osakazuki’ and ‘Heptalobum Osakazuki’ ?
There is Rebrum Osakazuki too. I believe it leaves out pinkish green in spring but then goes green.
@@ConnahJay thanks
Is it grafted?
Yes

I am planning to plant an Osakazuki in my courtyard garden which has a wall to wall width of 5 meters. I am aware that this tree will grow up to 4 meters plus. Is it ok to keep the height to around 2 to 3 meters tall? Thanks.
You can always prune it to the height you want, I guess. I will grow back though, so you'll have to prune it once a year or maybe every two years.

Hello, I have a Coral Bark Japanese maple tree. The tree is planted in the ground, somehow, it is not doing too well, the leaves as slowly dying, especially at the top of the tree and working its way down. I've checked the ph level and it is registering 7.-8. Based on some of the research I've done thus far, I need to reduce the Ph level to 5.5-6.5. Can you confirm? Also, what would be the ideal fertilizer for this particular tree? I've heard people said Happy Frog Japanese Maple 4-3-4 is good. Thanking you in advance. LV
Yes, japanese maples like slightly acidic soils. As for the fertilizer, Mr. Maple recommends not to overfertilize th trees and in any case use a fertilizer with a nitrogen level below 15. If I recall correctly they said they use 10 at their nursery.
Where can I buy seeds?
Never buy seeds because is not the same variety so you have to buy a small tree for better experience
Can it handle full sun? I’m in Kansas, zone 6b.
Yes! Here in Madrid tolerated 40 Celsius degrees in full summer
Waao
