Acer palmatum 'Beni Schichihenge' (Japanese Maple)
This beautiful small accent tree features dazzling summer foliage of blue-green with cream and rose variegation and orange undertones for an explosion of color, also great fall color; Japanese maples are the most coveted of all small landscape trees.
This is a relatively low maintenance tree, and should only be pruned in the winter to avoid 'bleeding' sap and suckering. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Beni Schichihenge Japanese Maple will grow to be about 12 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 12 feet. It has a low canopy with a typical clearance of 2 feet from the ground, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 60 years or more.
This tree does best in full sun to partial shade. You may want to keep it away from hot, dry locations that receive direct afternoon sun or which get reflected sunlight, such as against the south side of a white wall. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions, and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. It is not particular as to soil pH, but grows best in rich soils. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America.
