Acer palmatum 'Scolopendrifolium' | Japanese Maple - 120-160cm - 15lt
£168.00
Unit price perEstimated delivery between May 12 and May 14.
Acer palmatum 'Scolopendrifolium', also known as the centipede maple, is a distinctive variant of Japanese maple treasured for its striking and unique foliage. This cultivar stands out for its elongated, narrow lobes, giving the leaves a centipede-like appearance, hence the name 'Scolopendrifolium'. The slender, dissected leaves are often a lively green, which transitions to vibrant shades of red, orange, and sometimes purple during the fall, presenting a dazzling autumn display that makes it a sought-after specimen in ornamental horticulture.
Adaptable to a range of soil types, 'Scolopendrifolium' prefers well-draining, slightly acidic soils and benefits from a location offering partial shade, especially in areas with intense afternoon sun, to avoid leaf scorch. It is a relatively slow-growing tree, often reaching around 8 to 12 feet in height, making it a suitable choice for small gardens, patios, or containers.
The uniqueness and ornamental value of Acer palmatum 'Scolopendrifolium' lie not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its versatility and adaptability. Its ability to thrive in various conditions and its moderate size make it an excellent choice for landscapes, while its exceptional foliage provides an elegant, artistic element to the garden, attracting plant enthusiasts and collectors alike.
