Japanese Maple 'Omure-Yama', Acer palmatum 'Omurayama'
Noted for its spectacular cascading branches and striking fall color, Acer palmatum ‘Omure-Yama’ is a particularly interesting Japanese Maple. First, it changes from an upright habit when young to a semi-pendulous form at maturity, when its graceful, long new shoots start cascading down. This distinctly spreading-weeping habit creates a wide, drooping canopy over time. The deeply toothed and serrated leaves are equally beautiful. Emerging pale green in spring with an orange cast at their tips, they turn brilliant green in summer before turning striking gold interlaced with orange and scarlet shades. Famed for its unique willow tree form and glorious fall color, ‘Omure-Yama’ is an elegant and showy addition to the landscape.
