Acer pseudosieboldianum ssp takesimense 

Ulleung-do Island - Great Fall Color Cold Tolerant Japanese Maple

Zones 4-9

Sometimes referred to as Acer takesimense, this species is perhaps the most amazing acer species of them all. It leafs out in the early spring with large rounded green leaves that are fuller and wider than 'Autumn Moon' or 'Golden Full Moon' and other shirasawanum types. These rounded leaves stand out to make this tree highly unique and ornamental. While the leaf itself is attractive, the fall color display of yellows infused with oranges and metallic reds is what makes this selection a "must have". This fall color display typically holds onto the tree for a few more weeks than Acer palmatum and is often more consistent. Grafted onto Acer palmatum it is predicted that this rare maple will reach 12-15 ft in 20 years. Native to Ulleungdo Island between Japan and Korea in the China Sea, this species is in section palmata and is considered one of the most desirable Japanese maples.
