Acer palmatum 'Beni 'otake'

      The name translates to red bamboo, which aptly describes this maple from the linearilobum group. The leaves are a little wider and sturdier than other linearilobum maples. Foliage emerges medium red in spring holding its color well into summer before first bronzing and then turning green. In late summer new red growth pushes out of the top of the tree that is now green, giving it a very intresting appearance. Fall color is a really nice crimson. Growing faster than most linearilobum types, ‘Beni otake’ becomes a beautiful vase shaped tree eventually changing to more of a round top tree with age.

        Height:   15-18 feet    Width:  8-10 Feet
