Ben Maiko Japanese Maple

Acer palmatum 'Beni Maiko'

This selection is one of the most vividly red-toned spring Japanese maples, its brilliant red spring colour fades to a distinctive pinkish-red with green undertones in summer rather than the solid burgundy of most red maples, creating a subtler, more layered mid-season appearance.

  • Brilliant red spring colour fades to distinctive pinkish-red with green undertones in summer, a softer, more complex tone than most red maples
  • Bright orange to red fall colour completes the seasonal arc
  • Compact upright habit, perfect as a specimen in small gardens or courtyards

Growing & Maintenance Tips
Best planted in a well-drained soil with high organic matter. Japanese maples are grown as specimen trees or multi-stemmed plants. Any pruning should be done in summer. Mulch well, but avoid heaping mulch against the stem. Most cultivars need full sun or light afternoon shade.
