Acer palmatum 'Osakazuki'
The ?Osakazuki? has one of the most beautiful reds of all Japanese maples. His red toned leaves quickly transforms into an intense crimson with an undertone of orange-red before finally dropping his red leaves around his base. Although they will grow best in a rich well-drained soil, they will also do well in sandy soils and clay.The ?Osakazuki? is very resistant to the leaves burning during the summer. Regular watering during dry weather helps maintain the tree to its best form.
O tej roślinie
Acer
Maples (Acer) form a large genus of trees and shrubs, nearly all from the northern hemisphere and many from China. They range from small multi-stemmed trees to large shade trees. Their opposite, usually lobed leaves, colourful young growth, winged fruits and above all their fiery autumn colours make them garden classics.
Acer palmatum
The Japanese maple, native to Japan, Korea and eastern China, is a slow-growing large shrub or small tree with a broad, rounded crown. The palmate leaves have five to nine pointed, toothed lobes and turn orange-red to scarlet in autumn. Hundreds of garden forms exist, differing in habit, leaf shape and colour.
Stanowisko i gleba
Prefers a sheltered spot in partial shade, out of cold, drying winds; sun is tolerated if the soil stays moist. Needs humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil, ideally acidic to neutral. Hardy in Belgium, but heat and drought can scorch the leaves.
Przycinanie i pielęgnacja
Needs little pruning: if necessary, lightly balance the crown in winter (December to February). Mulch, water during dry spells and work in organic matter every few years. Watch for scale insects and verticillium wilt.
Zastosowanie w ogrodzie
A classic specimen for a lawn, a shade garden or a border with rhododendrons, azaleas, pieris and heathers. Many forms grow well in pots on a terrace, and the species is a favourite for bonsai.
