Experience the striking beauty of Acer palmatum ssp. matsumurae 'Beni Otake', fondly known as "Big Red Bamboo" Japanese Maple. This vigorous, upright cultivar is celebrated for its unique bamboo-like, strap-like leaves and vibrant, ever-changing color palette. Spring welcomes deep purple-red foliage that holds steady through summer's heat, while autumn transitions to a vivid crimson display. Reaching a majestic height of up to 21 feet at maturity, 'Beni Otake' stands as a testament to both elegance and resilience. Perfect for those seeking an exotic touch, this Ed Wood selection adapts seamlessly to full sun or partial shade, retaining its superb color even under varied light conditions. With its slightly wider and sturdier leaves compared to other linearilobum varieties, its new red growth offers a stunning contrast against late-season greens. Embrace this maple's fast growth, iconic vase shape, and outstanding seasonal hues, and add a perennial favorite to your landscape with 'Beni Otake'. As with most seed collected from cultivars it is uncertain whether the resulting seedlings will resemble the parent.
