Palmatum Maple
An essential bonsai tree
The palmatum maple is undoubtedly one of the most popular bonsai trees among amateurs and enthusiasts. This maple stands out for the finesse of its leaves and their magnificent colours in spring and autumn.
From the start of the growing season, delicate red leaves emerge from the buds. As the season progresses, they take on a green hue, before turning bright red again in autumn. This natural spectacle makes the palmatum maple particularly attractive in a bonsai collection, especially as it offers unique beauty all year round.
Easy to grow and maintain
Easy to grow, the palmatum maple is suitable for beginners and experts alike. It does, however, need a few precautions: in summer, protect it from hot winds, which can burn its delicate leaves. In winter, once the leaves have fallen, the elegance of its fine branches is revealed. It is at this precise moment that the Japanese prefer to admire this bonsai, as it highlights the meticulous pruning work carried out over the years.
Why choose a Palmatum Maple for Bonsai?
By adding a palmatum maple to your collection, you're opting for a bonsai that's aesthetically pleasing, rewarding and easy to care for. Its changing beauty with the seasons and its iconic character make it a perfect choice for bonsai enthusiasts.
