Introducing Acer japonicum 'Acontifolium' (30-40cm)

Welcome to the enchanting world of the Acer japonicum 'Acontifolium', commonly known as the Fernleaf Full Moon Maple. This exquisite Japanese maple is prized for its deeply dissected, fern-like foliage and stunning autumn colors. Perfect for adding a touch of elegance and vibrant color to any garden, 'Acontifolium' is ideal for borders, containers, and as a focal point in garden landscapes. Its moderate size and easy care make it a favorite among discerning gardeners.

Graceful Foliage and Spectacular Colors

The Acer japonicum 'Acontifolium' is celebrated for its finely cut, fern-like leaves that offer a delicate and airy appearance. In spring, the foliage emerges as a bright green, which deepens over summer. Come autumn, the leaves transform into a spectacular display of crimson, orange, and yellow, creating a breathtaking visual effect. This deciduous tree's rounded form and lush foliage make it an eye-catching addition to any garden.

Maintenance Tips for Acer japonicum 'Acontifolium'

Caring for your Acer japonicum 'Acontifolium' is straightforward, making it an excellent choice for gardeners of all experience levels. Follow these essential maintenance tips to keep your Japanese maple thriving:

  • Planting Location: Choose a spot with partial shade to full sun and well-drained soil. While 'Acontifolium' can tolerate full sun, it benefits from some afternoon shade in hotter climates to prevent leaf scorch.
  • Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods. Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging. Young trees need more frequent watering to establish a strong root system.
  • Feeding: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth. Avoid over-fertilizing, as too much nitrogen can affect the vibrant color of the foliage.
  • Pruning: Minimal pruning is required. Remove any dead or damaged branches in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Prune lightly to maintain the desired shape and size.
  • Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the tree to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Avoid piling mulch against the trunk.
  • Pest and Disease Control: Monitor for common pests such as aphids, scale, and spider mites. Treat infestations promptly with appropriate organic or chemical controls. 'Acontifolium' is generally disease-resistant but should still be checked regularly for signs of fungal infections and treated as necessary.
  • Winter Protection: In colder climates, protect young trees from harsh winter winds by wrapping them in burlap or using a windbreak.
