    Acer palmatum is a deciduous Tree growing to 8 m (26ft) by 6 m (19ft).
    It is hardy to zone 5 and is not frost tender. It is in flower from May to June. The flowers are monoecious (individual flowers are either male or female, but both sexes can be found on the same plant)


    Suitable for: light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils, prefers well-drained soil and can grow in heavy clay soil. Suitable pH: acid, neutral and basic (alkaline) soils and can grow in very acid soils.
    It can grow in semi-shade (light woodland) or no shade. It prefers moist soil.
