Japanese maple aconitifolium

A moderately fast-growing form reaching 3 (-4) m in height, with pinnately-lobed, lanceolate, light-green leaves 10-15 cm wide. Thanks to its particularly beautiful flowers, habit, shoots and magnificent bright-red autumn coloration, it can be called one of our most valuable forms for small gardens. Grows best in a sunny position, but not on calcareous soil. Flowers purple. Hardy plant.
