Discover the exotic beauty of Acer oliverianum (Oliver Maple), a broadleaf deciduous tree native to valleys and forests in central to southeastern China and Taiwan. With its smooth green bark and fine white waxy stripes, this tree grows up to 100 ft in the wild, but only up to 15-30 ft when cultivated. Its leaves are palmate and 5-lobed, with a vibrant bronze color in spring and beautiful oranges, reds, and yellows in fall. The flowers are whitish with purple sepals and followed by samaras that spread at a wide angle. This low-maintenance tree is perfect for gardens in zones 7 to 9 and prefers slightly acidic and well-draining soil in full sun to part shade.
