Overview
Acer palmatum is naturally found from Japan to Korea and China growing on moist well drained fertile soils, preferring a protected semi shaded to full sun position with wind protection. Under cultivation the tree normally attains a hight of 5m (15ft) but in its natural environment it reaches 8m (27ft). It is grown as a small specimen tree with autumn colour in small gardens or used in groups in parks. It is also grown in a container when young and once established it has a medium water requirement, (Scale: 2-drops from 3) and responds to mulching with an occasional deep watering during dry periods.
