BRIGHT RED COLORS ALL YEAR LONG ON THIS DWARF MAPLE

The Red Emperor Japanese Maple Tree is a vivid and fast growing maple tree perfect for any landscape!

With bright red foliage all year long and an upright growth habit, the Emperor 1 Japanese Maple tree is great in small gardens or as a focal piece where it can be seen. The red colorful foliage matches the brownish red bark throughout the year.

In early spring, new growth will emerge as purplish red and stays richly colored throughout the spring and summer growing seasons. New growth emerges 2 weeks later than other Japanese maple types and is less susceptible to a late spring frost. In fall, the fiery red leaves will turn a bright scarlet as the temperatures fluctuate and cool down. Being a deciduous tree, the Acer palmatum Emperor 1 will lose its leaves to signal the winter season has arrived.

Similar to the Bloodgood Maple, the Emperor One Japanese Maple is slightly more heat tolerant and has brighter ruby colored leaves. While they are hard to distinguish if not right next to each other, they’re both highly noted for their colorful leaves and distinct look.

The small size of this Emperor 1 Red Japanese Maple Tree makes it perfect for woodland gardens, Japanese gardens, small gardens, and you can even keep it planted in a container if you don’t have enough space in the yard. It is truly a versatile tree that can look beautiful and work for any garden or landscape.

DWARF EMPEROR JAPANESE MAPLE TREE CARE

Maple trees can grow in most locations of the United States with ease. It is zoned for USDA growing zones 5-9, and it is very cold hardy. The Japanese Red Maple Emperor 1 likes slightly acidic soil that is well draining and rich in organic matter. However, it is adaptable to many soil types. The Emperor 1 Japanese Maple likes full sun to partial shade. The best planting spot is an area with morning sun and afternoon shade to shield it from the piercing sunshine.

How to Plant a Japanese Maple Tree

Your Acer palmatum Wolff tree will come in the Perfect Plants black nursery container. You will want to take the tree out of the box and give it a good watering as soon as it arrives at your home. Dig a hole that is twice the size of the root zone. Place the ornamental tree and root ball into the planting hole and backfill with native soil or amended soil like our Slightly Acidic Potting Mix. Press firmly to get rid of any air pockets in the hole. Water the newly planted tree thoroughly the first year of planting to establish a strong root system. A thick 2 inch layer of mulch or organic matter will help to retain moisture. The best time to plant the Japanese Maple tree Red Emperor is in early spring so it has the whole growing season to establish. Fall is another great time to plant, especially if you have mild winters.

How to Prune a Japanese Maple Tree

Japanese Maples don’t require pruning but will benefit from annual pruning to shape them to the desired size. Prune back dead branches or crossed branches during any time of the year. When pruning a Japanese Maple, cut down to the trunk but be sure not to cut the branch collar off. Follow the natural growing pattern to create the best look! Avoid pruning when temperatures are too hot above 80 F. Always disinfect your pruning shears before pruning to prevent the spread of disease.

When to Trim a Japanese Maple Tree

The best time to prune Japanese Maples is in late winter or early spring while the tree is still dormant. This will give the person pruning the best view of the branch structure to make the best pruning cuts. This tree is faster growing than other Japanese Maple varieties. The Emperor 1 Japanese Maple growth rate is up to 2-3 feet per year once established. A slow release fertilizer at the top of the root ball will help the maple grow.

The Red Emperor Japanese Maple size is up to 10-15 feet tall and wide at maturity making it perfect for small spaces. Read more about How to Plant a Maple Tree.

Not the Fetch-Fest I Hoped For
Color: Orange
I had high hopes for the PetDroid Interactive Dog Ball, especially with the newly upgraded features and promises of durable, motion-activated fun. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite live up to expectations for my furry friend. Here’s why I’m giving it 2 stars. Promising Features, Lackluster Results The idea behind this toy is fantastic: a durable, motion-activated ball that would entertain my dog without much effort on my part. The ball is supposed to roll around on its own, keeping my dog engaged and active. However, in practice, it just didn’t capture my dog’s interest. Durability I will give credit where it’s due: the ball is well-made and seems durable. It can withstand some rough handling, which is great for more aggressive chewers. Unfortunately, durability doesn’t mean much if your dog won’t play with it in the first place. Motion Activation The motion activation feature is hit or miss. While the ball does move around as advertised, it didn’t seem to move in a way that intrigued my dog. He gave it a sniff, watched it for a minute, and then walked away, unimpressed. I tried multiple times to get him interested, but he simply wasn’t having it. Lack of Engagement The biggest issue is that the ball just didn’t engage my dog at all. It might be more suitable for a different personality type or breed, but for my pooch, it was a total flop. He’s usually quite playful and curious, so I was surprised by his lack of interest. Final Thoughts Overall, the PetDroid Interactive Dog Ball might work for some dogs, but it was a miss for mine. If your dog is easily entertained by automated toys, it might be worth a try. However, based on my experience, I can’t wholeheartedly recommend it. Pros: Durable construction Motion-activated as advertised Cons: Did not engage my dog Motion activation wasn’t intriguing enough Might be more suitable for specific dog types or personalities If you decide to give it a shot, just be prepared for the possibility that your dog might not find it as entertaining as you hope. For us, it’s back to the drawing board for a more engaging toy.

Pup Loves It, Some Other Notes
Color: Orange
We've had this for about six months and my 75 lb, 14-month-old German Shepherd pup LOVES IT. Her favorite is "Crazy Bouncing Mode." In fact, she doesn't care much for the normal mode. She chews it a lot - even drops it in her water bowl at times - and it's still going strong. This is a great purchase. It's nice hands-off entertainment. Do know that it is heavy compared to a normal ball - if your pup likes dropping it on the ground like mine does, it will land with a hard "thud," even with the included sleeve. Hopefully you don't have downstairs neighbors. Also know that the cover that goes over the charging port is removable and your dog may choke on it if they chew it in just the right manner. Definitely only let the pup play with it while supervised. All in all, great toy.

Awesome for hyper dogs
Color: Blue
AWESOME - I have a dog that just won't stop trying to get me to play with him ALL day! I turn this thing on and he goes nuts and tires himself out...without any help from me. The cover got torn off and torn up in minutes but he doesn't care. He just wants this ball. My other dogs, who are older, aren't really interested. But if you have a hyper dog this is the thing for you and them!

Great entertainment, charges quickly!
Color: Orange
Super fun entertainment for dog! Toy ball charges quickly and the charge lasts for at least an hour of playtime for the dog. There are 2 modes. one mode Just lights up, which makes it easy for pet to chase it. The second mode not only lights up, but it also wiggles on the ground Randomly and speeds off in a direction on its own, which really makes it interesting for your dog or cat to follow! Once the ball is not touched for about thirty seconds, it goes dormant and it will stay like that As long as it's charged until somebody touches it, and then it starts up randomly lighting up and moving around the floor on its own And making a vibration noise. It's a lot of fun to watch the dog chase and play with, and it certainly keeps them entertained for a while! The laughs and fun entertainment are definitely worth it. The only downside is that my dog chewed off the soft fabric covering in about twenty minutes.And she's not a real big chewer. It looks better with the covering on it, but even without it, the ball works fine and she plays with it every day.So that is not a showstopper. But good to supervise your dog for safety.In case they are a chewer, and they decide to destroy the cover. But the ball works fine without the cover too!

Looooves her crazy new ball
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
Our 90lb mastiff/boxer mix Indie is very playful, curious and energetic. She needs toys that engage her and keep her busy. This ball does the job! We’ve had it for less than a week. Here’s what I love and what could be better: PROS: • She dog loves it. She whines for it. She gets absurdly excited when I get it out. She’s a bit of an anxious dog, but had zero problems with it inexplicably coming to life. • It lasts a while on a single charge, so it keeps her busy for a good long time. The longest we’ve used it at a stretch is an hour. • It’s pretty durable. She’s a super chewer (destroyed every “non-destructible” toy we’ve purchased for her), but the actual ball is hard plastic. She gnaws on it and it gets scratches, for sure. But she’s not going to chew it to pieces. • On carpet, it’s reasonably quiet. • It comes with a replaceable silicone button. • It’s easy to charge…just pull off the silicone button and the charging port is inside. • The silicone button is flush with the ball’s hard plastic surface, so there’s no way for her to pull the silicone button out and swallow it or get to the charging port. CONS: • Cover is worthless if your dog is a chewer. It goes on like an envelope with a Velcro closure. We took it off immediately. • Without the cover, it’s very noisy on hardwood floors. To us, it’s worth it. (Though, I work from home, so I might feel differently after the holiday vacation.) • She’s an XL dog, so she can fit the whole ball in her mouth easily and accidentally chomp down on the button and turn the ball off. Not a big deal, just something to know if you’ve got a Lab or larger dog. • With extended playtime, the two halves can come unscrewed, especially with a large dog who uses their paws/jaws on it a lot. Thankfully, it makes a loud buzzing noise when this happens, so we know we need to take it from her and screw it back together. Is this a potential danger? With the rechargeable battery inside, I’d say yes. But we also don’t let her play with this toy without supervision. So keep that in mind. Bottom line: It has its drawbacks, but it keeps her entertained and seems like it should last her at least 6 months with supervised play. Which is honestly REALLY good when we’re talking about Indie, Destroyer of Toys. I’d buy it again.
