Discover the marvel of 'Beni Otake', a spectacular linearilobum variety of Acer palmatum ssp. matsumurae, the Japanese maple. Developed by renowned grower Ed Wood, 'Beni Otake' or 'Big Red Bamboo' stems from its unique, bamboo-like foliage. It features slender, deep burgundy leaves that embody an exotic ambiance, making this tree an intriguing addition to any landscape. Thriving in full sun or partial shady locations with filtered light, this stunner exhibits an exceptional color palette, presenting a diverse display from week to week, day to day, and even hour to hour. Springtime unfurls medium red foliage, maturing into eye-catching hues of reds, pinks, and purples through summer, transitioning to a vibrant green by late summer. As fall arrives, expect a burst of intense crimson that adds dramatic flair. Notably, new red growth emerges atop the green tree during late summer, creating a fascinating contrast. 'Beni Otake' matures into a stunning, vase-shaped tree that broadens slightly with age and reaches a height of 15ft within 15 years. Its adaptability to warmer climates and rapid growth pace compared to its linearilobum counterparts make 'Beni Otake' a favorite choice year after year. Its distinct appearance and resilient nature is a true testament to the beauty and longevity of Japanese maples. Please note that as with any cultivar, the seedlings may not resemble the mother plant.
