Description

Japan Maple (Acer palmatum)

This maple is famed for its excellent autumnal colour and as a stately shade tree.

Young leaves red-green in early Spring, mature leaves turning to green during mid-late Spring and Summer, and into shades of yellow, orange and red during Autumn.

It does best in full sun to part shade and prefers an evenly moist soil that is well drained. Mulch well in summer to keep the roots cool and moist.

It needs protection from strong drying winds otherwise leaves will scorch and burn.

Current height approx 1.2m+ above PB8 planter bag.

As these are deciduous trees they may be without leaves during late-autumn through to winter months.

These plants are grown locally in Ngāmotu New Plymouth and have been donated to Heritage Taranaki to help support our mission of conserving our region’s unique heritage.
