Oliver's Taiwanese Maple is a spectacular species renowned for its dynamic colors throughout the seasons. This mid-sized tree reaches a height of 15-18 feet in 15-20 years, making it an excellent addition to any landscape.

In early spring, this maple unveils buds of coral pink with large palmate leaves, closely resembling the typical Japanese maple. By late spring, the tree transitions to a bright green, before showcasing a pink-red flush of new growth in summer. Come fall, the foliage transforms into a vibrant display of bright oranges infused with gold. Additionally, its exceptional heat tolerance makes it ideal for southern landscapes. Trial tested in southern Georgia, Acer oliverianum ssp. formosanum has proven to be a resilient and beautiful choice for the deep South.
