Olivers Maple (Acer oliverianum) 10 seeds
 
 
Maples have fibrous root systems & love to be grown in a sandy loam soil that has a small amount of compost incorporated into it but they will grow in a wide range of soil types that drain well.
 
 
Mulching is beneficial to retain moisture in the soil over the summer months.  Maples can be grown in full sun to partly shaded positions. The dissected & fine leaf varieties prefer to be planted in shadier positions.   Maples can be pruned to maintain shape and to remove any unsightly branching this should be done once the tree has lost its leaves in the winter period.
 
 
Fast growing in the first few years slowing when mature. The most Intense red autumn foliage & green summer foliage. Large palmate leaves. Grows to 6-7 metres.
 

Acer oliverianum, sometimes commonly called oliver maple, is a small deciduous maple that typically grows to 15-30' tall. It is native to valleys and forests in central to southeastern China. It has upright-spreading, nearly horizontal branching that is somewhat reminiscent of Acer palmatum (Japanese maple). Branches are green to brownish-green with a gray-white waxy bloom. Each palmate leaf (to 2-5" wide) has a truncate to subcordate base and five finely-toothed, triangular-ovate lobes. Leaves emerge with bronze tones in spring, mature to medium green by summer and exit in fall (usually late fall) with an often superb combination of oranges, reds and yellows. White flowers with red sepals bloom in peduncled corymbs in spring. Flowers are followed by samaras (to 1" long) with diverging wings.
