Notes
'Jordan' maple (Acer shirasawanum 'Jordan') is a tree for borders, containers, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows slowly in an erect shape. Expect a height of about 8 to 12 feet and a spread of about 4 to 6 feet, so it fits small spaces. Bees visit it.
Pairs well with Smoketree, Ornamental onion, and Fireweed.
