Japanese Maple Copper Tree Fountain Kit
Created as a lasting landscape centerpiece, this handcrafted copper tree is both sculpture and working water feature. No two are identical. Water moves through fine internal tubing and across the hand-cut leaves while the matched pump, plumbing and 95-gallon reservoir remain concealed below the finished landscape.
Sculpture size: Approx. 38" H × 36" dia.
Sculpture weight: Approx. 93 lb.
Hidden reservoir: 95 gal.
Pump flow: 1,495 GPH
Why This Fountain Is Different
Matched as a System
The sculpture, high-capacity reservoir, pump, filtration and plumbing are selected to work together rather than assembled from unrelated parts.
Designed to Evolve
Moving water animates the layered canopy, while natural patina gradually gives the copper an individual, living finish.

Installation at a Glance
This is a substantial in-ground fountain project. Use the official manual for complete instructions.
1. Plan and Mark
Confirm utilities, service access and the full basin footprint before excavation.
2. Excavate and Level
Dig slightly wider and as deep as the basin. Remove sharp material, compact the base and verify level.
3. Assemble the System
Orient the pump access, backfill, install the grate and support, then connect the filtered pump and tubing.
4. Fill, Test and Finish
Fill the basin, test the system, adjust flow to limit splash and add pebbles without blocking pump access.
Electrical and pump safety: Unplug the pump before placing it in water, removing it or performing service. Operate it submerged, never run it dry, never lift it by the cord and use a dry GFCI-protected outlet that matches the pump nameplate.
What Ownership Requires
Routine Care
- Maintain the water level so the pump never runs dry.
- Clean the stainless mesh pump bag every few months.
- Inspect the pump, tubing and connections for debris, leaks or damage.
- Keep the pump-access cover reachable.
Copper Character
- Natural patina changes the copper color over time.
- Adjust leaves gently to refine the water pattern.
- Clean with a soft-bristle brush and follow the treatment guide.
- Above 100°F, softened leaves may need gentle reshaping or more shade.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the fountain require a pond?
No. Water recirculates from the concealed 95-gallon AquaBox® reservoir through the copper tree and returns through the decorative surface covering.
Are polished pebbles included?
No. Blue Thumb recommends approximately 200 pounds, equal to five 40-pound bags. Black and mixed polished pebbles are sold separately.
Will the copper keep its original color?
No. Copper reacts naturally with air and water, developing an individual patina over time. This evolving color is an expected characteristic of the material.
Can I adjust the water pattern?
Yes. Use the supplied ball valve to control overall flow. The official guide also allows gentle leaf adjustments to refine how water travels across the canopy; make small changes to avoid stressing the handmade branches.
What routine maintenance does it need?
Maintain the reservoir water level, clean the stainless mesh pump bag every few months, keep pump access open and inspect the pump, tubing and connections regularly. The mesh bag should remain around the pump to protect the fine copper tubing from debris.
What should I do before freezing weather?
Do not allow water to freeze in the copper tubes. For extended freezing conditions, remove and clean the fountain and pump, store them where they cannot freeze and keep the underground basin at least half full. Follow the current maintenance guide for the complete shutdown and spring-start sequence.
What warranty coverage applies?
The included AquaBox® carries Blue Thumb's lifetime engineered-plastics warranty, and the Mag-Drive pump has a 5-year limited warranty with the impeller excluded. Ask Blue Thumb to confirm current coverage for the handcrafted copper sculpture before ordering.
