Bonsai Growing Kit - Green Japanese Maple

The Green Japanese Maple - Acer palmatum

The Green Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum) is a small, deciduous tree that's popular with South African gardeners. It has light green leaves in spring that turn orange and red in fall. Maples are one of the favorite species for bonsai as the Acer Palmatum is the iconic tree of Japan.

Acer palmatum is a species of woody plant native to Japan, North Korea, South Korea, China, eastern Mongolia, and southeast Russia. For centuries Japanese horticulturalists have developed cultivars for their attractive leaf shapes and colours; even in nature, Acer palmatum displays considerable genetic variation, with seedlings from the same parent tree typically showing differences in such traits as leaf size, shape, and colour.

A charming, hardy, deciduous tree with a rounded shape and attractive, bright scarlet-orange autumn foliage. Ideal specimen tree for a small garden, it is best grown in semi-shade or on the south or east side of a house in hot, dry Highveld gardens. They make wonderful bonsai plants.
