Acer Asahi zuru
Obtained by K. Wada of Japan in 1938, the "Rising Sun Maple" is a small tree with a flared form and delicate, variegated white and pink foliage. Avoid planting in overly-rich soil to prevent a return to an entirely green foliage.
Use
As an isolated lawn specimen or in association with evergreen shrubs such as Rhododendrons, Japanese Azaleas, Camellias, etc.
Planting
In porous, acid or neutral soil. Add acid compost or peat at the time of planting. Choose a location with protection from strong winds.
Maintenance
Japanese Maples are resistant to most parasites if well planted. As a rule, they do not enjoy pruning, which should therefore be performed minimally.
