Description
A beautiful snake bark maple from Taiwan with lustrous, dark green foliage that emerges flushed with red in the spring. As the tree matures, the green bark takes on white striping to create a striking effect, particularly in the winter months. The autumn colour is good, varying from yellow to orange, depending upon the vagaries of the weather. Fairly fast growing when young but takes to pruning well to maintain an aesthetically pleasing shape.
A fairly sheltered spot would be best as it is often early to leaf out in the spring.
All of these trees are grown from UK sourced seed of known provenance.
