Notes
Maple (Acer miyabei) is a tree for specimen planting and shade garden use. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. It reaches 25 to 40 feet tall and 25 to 30 feet wide, so give it plenty of room. Greenish-yellow flowers open in mid spring, and the leaves color up in fall.
Pairs well with Elegans hosta, Snowberry, and Pink Impression tulip.
