Acer palmatum 'Bi-Hoo'

A first-rate deciduous tree, commonly known as Japanese maple, offering real character in the landscape.

Expect it to reach around 1.5m tall by 1m wide at 10 years. It is best in sun or partial shade, in acid to neutral soils, and grows well in reasonably drained soil. Reliably hardy across most of the UK.

This distinctive Japanese maple cultivar offers unique foliage characteristics with deeply divided, almost thread-like leaves that create an exceptionally fine texture. The delicate foliage emerges with reddish tints in spring, matures to bright green through summer, then transforms into brilliant orange-red autumn colours.

The naturally weeping habit creates an elegant, cascading form that works beautifully as a specimen plant or in Japanese-style gardens. Small reddish flowers appear in spring, though they are often hidden by the emerging foliage.

'Bi-Hoo' requires careful positioning to protect the delicate foliage but rewards attentive gardeners with exceptional grace and beauty.
