acer japonicum Aconitofolium 10/18/06


Aconitofolium is sometimes called the fern-leaf maple. As the name suggests, this large-leafed japonicum is delicate in appearance due to the deeply cut lobes. Fall color is brilliant red to red/purple. It needs some space, as it grows to 33 feet tall and wide, but mine is not a rapid grower so I'm not going to worry about the space it might eventually occupy.
