Emperor I Japanese Maple
Acer palmatum 'Emperor I'
This plant died!
This beautiful tree up and died back to within 3 inches of the soil line. I don’t know why, but just in case I replaced it with a completely different tree, a Tricolor birch.

I love the deep red/purple color leaves of this tree. We bought this to serve as another screen at the edge of our yard, and chose it due to the vertical growth which I found is hard to come by in Japanese Maples. Looking forward to see how it grows!
