Best leaf color in partial shade, although full sun can be tolerated. Mulch helps retain soil moisture and keep roots cool.

In the fall, the leaves turn bright scarlet before shedding to the ground. The delicate foliage of finely-cut leaves emerges deep crimson-red in the spring and changes to a very dark purple-red in the summer. Acer palmatum 'Tamukeyama' (Japanese Maple) is a dwarf, mound-forming, deciduous shrub or small tree with strongly cascading branches forming a graceful, dome-shaped specimen over time.
