Introducing the Acer diabolicum Devil Maple - a stunning and unique addition to any garden! Native to the mountains of Japan, this handsome deciduous tree grows to be 20 to 30 feet tall with a rounded habit. Its distinguishing feature is its fruit - the samara, about 1 1/2 inches long with spreading wings, is thick and bristly. Yellow flowers appear before the leaves, and the foliage is green with red leaves when young and in the fall. While not often seen in American gardens, the Acer diabolicum is a gorgeous and adaptable tree, tolerating deer, rabbits, and sloped terrain. It thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 5 to 7, enjoying partial shade to full sun and soil pH ranging from 5 to 7. Sandy loam to clay loam soil that is moist to normal is optimal for its growth. Add the Acer diabolicum Devil Maple to your garden today and appreciate its beauty for years to come! More information available at http://plants.usda.gov.
