Notes
'Omure-Yama' Japanese maple (Acer palmatum 'Omure-Yama') is a tree for specimen, accent, container, and woodland use. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows slowly into a broad shape, so give it room to spread. Bees and birds visit it, and it tolerates drought. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Aureola Japanese forest grass, Nigrescens mondo grass, and Spring snowflake.
