The Japanese maple is highly recommended for gardens due to its stunning autumn colors and compact size. Gardening expert Allan Titchmarsh highlights its low maintenance and suitability for small urban spaces. These trees display beautiful reddish hues in fall, thanks to cooler weather, and their coral-red stems add winter interest. They grow slowly, averaging 25 cm per year, and have non-invasive roots, making them safe for nearby structures. Proper care allows them to thrive for decades, with some living over a century. In Romania, prices start at 60 lei.
