Oshio Beni Japanese Maple

The Oshio Beni Japanese Maple is a fast-growing small tree with outstanding foliage colors that change through the seasons. The spring leaves are a unique orange-red, turning garnet-red for most of the summer. In fall this tree explodes into brilliant scarlets. Reaching almost 20 feet in as little as 15 years, with an equal spread, grow this tree as a lawn specimen, or in a courtyard garden. Plant it in a woodland area, around your home, or at the back of garden beds. Of course, it is perfect for Asian-style gardens, containers, and bonsai too.

• Garnet-red leaves are orange-red in spring
• Powerful fall coloring of bright scarlets
• Fast-growing to 20 feet or more
• Grows well in partial shade and beneath larger trees
• Classic ornamental tree for any garden

Hardy from zone 5 to 8, the Oshio Beni Japanese Maple grows best in rich, moist, well-drained soil in partial shade. It will grow in full sun in cooler zones, and with afternoon shade, or dappled full-shade in warmer zones. It normally has no pests or diseases and it responds well to pruning, which you can use to expose the trunks and create a more mature looking tree faster. A relatively easy tree to grow.
