Acer davidii - (Père David's Maple / Snakebark Maple) |
A rare specimen tree and one of the best snakebark maples, growing to around 10-12 m (30-40 ft) in height within open ground, or 3-4 ft tall within a bonsai pot
Develops an attractive, spreading crown with arching branches of elegant, oval leaves, which emerge green in spring, turning amazing hues of pink, orange and yellow in autumn
The striking serpentine bark is a feature in itself - starting a striped red and slowly turning green and white as it ages
Provides all-year interest in any garden
Spring flowers are followed by attractive winged fruit and seeds
