Description

Said by some to be the most variegated of all Japanese Maples, while many variegated upright cultivars display only sporadic variegation, the rare ‘Uzen Nishiki’ displays it more prominently and spread throughout the foliage of the tree. In early spring, the deeply divided palmate leaves first emerge green with a pinkish purple border. As the season progresses white coloration develops and expands on the interior of the leaves. The variegation holds quite well into summer with more green and less white and pink. Fall brings bright shades of yellow and orange. For the best foliage color throught the seasons we suggest filtered sun or shade during the afternoon hours. A strong grower, you might expect 7 to 8 feet tall at 10 years of age and 12 to 15 feet tall and 10 feet wide or so when all grown up. Very easy to grow in the ground or in containers, and a sight to behold, Uzen Nishiki is a fantastic specimen for small to medium size landscape spaces or as an accent tree in home foundation plantings.

Landscape & Garden Uses

To showcase its magnificence and beauty, the Uzen Nishiki Japanese Maple is best used in the landscape as a focal point specimen to draw attention to a specific area of the home or landscape. That said, you can plant it in spaced groupings of three or use two to frame an entrance.

Suggested Spacing: At least 15 feet apart for space between trees

Container culture can extend the useful range of Japanese Maples. They are extremely easy to grow in containers, a practice taken to its most extreme form in the art of bonsai. Click on the link below under Helpful Articles for Japanese Maple container planting instructions.

Note: One Japanese Maple can make a landscape…that is, if you don’t overcrowd it with other trees and plants. Therefore, when selecting companions to plant under or around your Japanese Maple, make sure to select low-growing shrubs or groundcovers that won’t interfere at all with your tree.

Growing Preferences

Though delicate looking, Japanese Maples are actually very tough, long-lived trees that are easy to grow in the ground or in containers.

In their natural habitat, Japanese Maples are understory trees, growing in dappled forest sunlight at the edges of woodlands. Orido Nishiki will tolerate full sun but does its best with some shade or filtered sun in the afternoon, especially in the southern zones where it grows. You can find a complete listing of our sun-tolerant Japanese Maple varieties here.

Most any average garden soil will grow Japanese Maples. They prefer a moist but well-drained soil rich in organic matter. As with so many other ornamental plants and trees, constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. So make sure to plant your Japanese Maple in a well-drained site.
