The staggering amount of varieties that the Japanese maples offer can easily confuse a novice. This is the sole reason that after many months of caring and upbringing most of the novice find that they have actually purchased something contrary to their desires. The variations between the varities are of very minor nature, but the problem mostly arises when someone buys a slow growing maple when they were looking for some quick results. When we say slow growing we don’t mean a span of few months, these maple trees sometimes take years to fully establish. This is certainly annoying for any one who has recently developed a passion for these colourful plants. Apart from questions about leaves, colours and stature this is certainly a question worth asking that at what rate the tree grows over the year, which will eventually save money, time and more importantly the valuable effort.

The other confusion is the naming convention used for these Japanese maples, and now in the market you will find the same tree with two names, one English the other off course its native Japanese name. This sometime bring confusions in the mind of buyer, first of all the Japanese names don’t tell much about the plant if you do not know the Japanese which is the case in most of the ventures. Even the use of multiple names can sometime cause problems to the native Japanese as well. Increasingly on the online stores the vendors are using bilingual names to cope this problem. This is proving to be a good approach to this problem, as this can be helpful for the natives and the others equally and by refining this technique further better results can easily be drawn.
