Sapium japonicum - Japanese Tallow Tree - Stunning Autumn Colour

Turn heads in autumn with our Sapium japonicum, an ornamental tree famed for its brilliant crimson-red foliage that lights up gardens. Throughout the growing season, its neat, oval leaves display fresh green tones, but as autumn approaches, they ignite into vivid shades of scarlet, orange, and fiery red, creating a breathtaking canopy of colour. With a graceful branching structure, it provides year-round interest and makes a superb feature in gardens of all styles.

Thriving best in full sun to light shade and moist, well-drained soil, the Japanese Tallow Tree is surprisingly easy to grow and tolerant of a variety of conditions. Minimal pruning is needed, just remove crossing or damaged branches to maintain its elegant shape. Pair it with ornamental grasses, evergreens, or autumn stunners like Liquidambar and Acer for a stunning seasonal display. 

Supplied in approx. 2-3 litre containers.
