Discover the enchanting Acer fabri, also known as Faber's Maple and Emerald Jade Maple, a rare and remarkable evergreen tree indigenous to Vietnam and central to southern China. This unique maple captivates with its slender, glossy lanceolate leaves that stand in contrast to the multi-lobed foliage typical of its family. The tree's new growth and samaras boast a vivid red hue that transitions to a warm brownish-yellow, adding a dynamic splash of color to any landscape. Suited for USDA Zone 8 and potentially Zone 7, Acer fabri thrives in well-drained soil rich in organic matter, ideal for partial sun exposure. Reaching heights and widths of 20 to 30 feet in its native habitat, this tree boasts versatility, making it a charming addition to woodland gardens, a striking understory tree, or even a stunning bonsai or container specimen. Though a cold winter may challenge its hardiness, Faber's Maple remains evergreen in milder climates, offering an exotic touch to discerning gardeners. Embrace the distinctive allure of this endangered masterpiece and elevate your garden's elegance today.
