It tends to branch low to the ground. It originates from the Ullung-do Island in the sea of China.<\/p>\n<p>Korean maple is one of the best maples for fall color in the Southern Appalachian region (USDA zones 6 and 7). For a short time, new spring foliage emerges with a reddish tinge.\u00a0Its forest green foliage lasts all summer long and stays disease and pest free.\u00a0Autumn leaf\u00a0colors are exceptional with reds, oranges and yellows throughout the tree.<\/p>\n<p>It features subtle clusters of creamy white flowers with purple bracts rising above the foliage in early spring before the leaves appear. The two winged samaras turn purple in mid-summer. The rough gray bark and brick red branches add an interesting dimension to the winter landscape.<\/p>\n<p>Korean maple excels in full sun in northerly areas (USDA hardiness zones 4) where few Japanese maple (<em>A. palmatum<\/em>) cultivars, if any, will grow. In northerly areas Korean maple grows in full sunlight and a compost rich, well-drained, and slightly acidic soil. Further south (zones 6 and 7), partial day or full morning sunlight is the rule. The tree shouldn&#8217;t be permitted to dry out. Irrigate during extended dry periods and cover the ground with 2-3 inches of mulch.<\/p>\n<p>This is a relatively low maintenance tree, and is best pruned in the summer after the leaves have fully developed. Korean Maple is an open multi-stemmed low canopy deciduous tree which makes it\u00a0ideal\u00a0for planting under power lines.<\/p>\n<p>Availability of Korean maple is limited to e-commerce nurseries on-line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ullung-do Island Korean maple (Acer pseudosieboldianum \u2018Takeshimense\u2019) is a small deciduous tree which will grow to be 20 -25 feet tall tree, with a spread of 15-18 feet.
