Description
Acer osakazuki Japanese maple
is grown mainly for its spectacular autumn colour, perhaps the best of all the maples. It has an open habit, and its large, seven-lobed, bright green leaves turn brilliant scarlet in autumn and last for several weeks before falling. Preferring a sheltered, shady spot, ‘Osakazuki’ looks dramatic silhouetted against a tall hedge or building.
