Peacock maple 'Ornatum'

Acer palmatum var. dissectu 'Ornatum'

Growth Characteristics
This is a variety of Japanese maple with deeply lobed, delicate leaves that primarily turn red or purple in autumn. Generally, this tree grows to a small to medium size, with mature trees reaching a height of approximately 2 to 3 meters. It thrives in partial shade and exhibits optimal growth in well-drained soil.

Propagation Methods
It is primarily propagated by grafting or cuttings. Grafting is the most commonly used method in the spring, as grafting onto a healthy rootstock helps maintain the variety's characteristics. Cuttings are taken in the summer; new shoots are cut off and planted in moist sand or perlite.

Cultivation Methods
It is important to maintain well-drained soil and adequate moisture. Plant in well-draining soil and be careful not to overwater. Applying slow-release fertilizer in the spring can aid in growth. Since this tree prefers partial shade rather than strong sunlight, planting it in an appropriate location is crucial. Use in the Garden

It is very useful for adding color to your garden. It grows well in small gardens or pots, and planting it along garden borders or near water creates a beautiful effect. Additionally, planting it in harmony with other maple trees of various colors allows you to enjoy unique scenery throughout the seasons.

Important Pests and Control Methods

Although it has relatively strong resistance to pests and diseases, it may occasionally be attacked by pests such as peach gall mites, aphids, and gall mites. To control these pests, using appropriate eco-friendly insecticides or frequently washing the leaves with clean water can be effective. Furthermore, to prevent fungal diseases, it is important to ensure good ventilation and manage watering appropriately.
