Acer pectinatum ssp. maximowiczii - Hardwood - Maximowicz's Snakebark Maple Page

Introducing Acer pectinatum ssp. maximowiczii, commonly known as Maximowicz's Snakebark Maple—a unique species that adds an exquisite touch to any garden. This rarely offered maple thrives as a medium-sized deciduous tree, reaching up to 15 feet in height, with a slightly narrower canopy. A striking feature of this maple is its bark: young branches boast a vibrant reddish-brown hue, while mature branches and trunk display a deep, rich brown, adding year-round interest. Acer pectinatum ssp. maximowiczii showcases medium green, thin, papery leaves with five lobes, where the central lobe elegantly extends beyond the others, creating a delicate, symmetrical appearance. In spring, enjoy the subtle charm of its inconspicuous yellow-white flowers, which transition into the classic maple samara fruit. As autumn approaches, this tree transforms, donning a warm yellow foliage that brightens any protected garden spot. Ideal for enhancing small garden spaces, Maximowicz's Snakebark Maple is a picturesque addition to your landscape.
