Acer palmatum Beni Otake is a striking ornamental tree, known for its unique bamboo-like foliage. The leaves are long and narrow, resembling the appearance of bamboo leaves, and emerge a vibrant red in spring. As the seasons change, the foliage transitions to a deep maroon, maintaining a strong color presence throughout the summer. In autumn, the leaves ignite into a bright crimson, offering a brilliant display.
This maple is ideal for adding vertical interest and textural contrast in various garden styles, including Asian-themed gardens, contemporary landscapes, or as a standout feature in a mixed border. Beni Otake thrives in partial shade but can tolerate full sun if provided with adequate moisture. It prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil and benefits from protection against strong winds.
Acer palmatum Beni Otake grows to a height of about 4-5m with a narrow spread, making it an excellent choice for areas where a tall, yet compact, tree is desired. This maple’s distinctive foliage and robust colour make it a valuable addition to any garden seeking a touch of elegance and drama.
What is a bare-rooted tree?
Bare-rooted trees are deciduous trees that have been grown in the ground and are dug up when they've become dormant in the winter. The soil is shaken from their roots and they are bundled up with their roots packed in moist material to prevent dehydration during transport.
