How tall and what size container?** A: Very tiny - they ship it loose inside a USPS Flat Rate box. It might be 9 inches total including the height of the pot - The container is a little smaller than the lower half of a solo cup - maybe 1 cup worth of dirt. It is just a little grafted stick, the graft spot from the original tree hasn't healed over yet, no leaves or branches, but with time and care it should probably grow. **Q: will this tree survive in zone 9 planted in full sun ?** A: Most maples are very hardy up to zone 8 in partial sun. I would not take the risk in zone 9 in full sun. I live on the border of zone 7-8 and full sun is just too much even in my zone. **Q: Are these grafted trees or actual trees? Grafted is not the same as a tree. No where does it state this in the description of the product.** A: Almost every unusual Japanese maple is grafted. This is because the graft root system will be more robust or vigorous. Nothing to worry about and within a few years the graft won’t be so obvious. ## Frequently Bought Together - Purple Ghost Japanese Maple Acer palmatum Purple Ghost 2 - Year Live Tree - Little Sango Dwarf Coral Bark Japanese Maple Acer palmatum 'Little Sango' Coral Red Bark is Bright Red, Year Round Beauty Live Plant - Floating Cloud Japanese Maple Acer palmatum Ukigumo 2 - Year Tree --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/10060457-purple-ghost-japanese-maple-acer-palmatum-purple-ghost-2-year](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/10060457-purple-ghost-japanese-maple-acer-palmatum-purple-ghost-2-year) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-04*
