Description
Acer palmatum ‘Scolopendrifolium’ is an elegant deciduous tree originating from Japan. With a strong upright, bushy habit, it creates a graceful presence in the garden. Its long, narrow leaves are bright green, often tipped with soft salmon tones, adding subtle seasonal interest.
As autumn arrives, the foliage transforms into striking shades of apricot, orange, and yellow. These vibrant colours provide a stunning display, ensuring the tree becomes a focal point in smaller gardens and courtyards.
This maple thrives in moist, well-drained soil and grows happily in sun or semi-shade. However, it benefits from shelter from wind, which helps prevent leaf scorch and keeps the foliage looking fresh throughout the seasons.
Reaching approximately 5m high and 3m wide, it makes an ideal light shade tree. With its compact size, it suits modern landscapes and provides a delicate canopy for outdoor spaces.
Interestingly, the epithet Scolopendrifolium was chosen by botanists to describe its deeply cut, finger-like leaves. Resembling small insect legs, these unique shapes give the tree its distinctive character and enduring charm.
