Its deeply lobed foliage emerges in spring as bright red-purple tones, gradually maturing to bronze-green through summer while retaining attractive reddish highlights. In autumn, the tree produces a vivid display of fiery crimson, orange, and gold, making it a standout feature in the late-season garden.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis cultivar has a more vigorous, upright habit than many Japanese maples, making it well suited to medium and larger gardens where it can develop its natural shape. It works particularly well as a specimen tree in lawns, mixed borders, or woodland-style plantings, where its changing foliage can contrast beautifully with evergreen shrubs and softer underplanting.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e‘Chitose-Yama’ prefers moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil and benefits from a sheltered position away from strong winds. Partial shade is ideal, although it can tolerate sunnier sites if soil moisture is consistent. Once established, it is relatively low maintenance, requiring only light pruning to maintain structure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith its robust growth, reliable colouring, and seasonal transformation, Acer palmatum ‘Chitose-Yama’ brings structure, movement, and exceptional year-round interest to the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arundel Arboretum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56994412986746,"sku":"ACER-CHIT-TR10-35","price":362.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9130\/4688\/files\/074e55d9-43e8-4c58-9152-64f30f01032b.jpg?v=1782126242","url":"https:\/\/www.arundelarboretum.co.uk\/products\/japanese-maple-chitose-yama-acer-palmatum-bushy-height-100-120cm-35lt","provider":"Arundel Arboretum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
