Plant InformationAcer Palmatum Bi Hoo, commonly known as Japanese Maple, is a distinctive and elegant deciduous tree admired for its unique foliage and graceful form. This cultivar of Japanese Maple is celebrated for its striking, yellow green lobed foliage that emerge in Spring with a salmon-pink flush and turn shades of yellow and orange in the Autumn before falling to reveal the golden-yellow and orange coloured stems.
Acer Palmatum Bi Hoo Care
To ensure your Acer Palmatum Bi Hoo thrives, plant it in a location that receives dappled sunlight or partial shade, as it prefers to be protected from the harsh midday sun. Well-drained, slightly acidic soil is ideal for this maple, although it can adapt to various soil types as long as they are not too alkaline or waterlogged.
Regular watering is crucial, particularly during dry spells, to keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. A layer of mulch around the base of the tree can help retain soil moisture and regulate temperature. Applying a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring can support healthy growth and vibrant foliage. Minimal pruning is generally needed, but removing any dead or damaged branches can help maintain the tree’s shape and overall health. With the right care, this Japanese Maple will offer beauty and elegance throughout the seasons.
