Acer cappadocicum Details

Acer cappadocicum, commonly known as the Coliseum Maple, is a tree grown for its rich and colourful foliage. The leaves on this deciduous tree emerge purple-green, age to green, then develop impressive yellow-gold tones in autumn before falling. It typically grows with a lovely form to 10 m tall and 8 m wide, performing best in full sun on a well-drained site. Trees will grow on a range of soil types but will struggle at the extremes of wet and dry. Acer cappadocicum is suitable for parks, home gardens, as a specimen tree, and makes for a lovely shade tree. Please be aware that this species usually produces root suckers around the base of the tree which is unlike most other Maples.
