Acer sieboldianum 'Kumoi nishiki'

This is an interesting variegated sieboldianum that I received in 2010 from All Things Acer. The Checklist of Maple Cultivars has this as a 2006 introduction from Japan. I have this planted in full sun (in NJ) in the ground and in a pot in a shaded area and it is doing well in both locations.

 

epic fall color in this my very little tree

 

Very nice variegation, I like it! Since it's hard to tell from the pictures, approximately how big are the leaves? What's the typical growth habit on this cultivar?

 

thanks Ed ,lovely pics !i have one by Guy Maillot (photo courtesy Maillot)

 

I would say that the leaf size is in the medium range for sieboldianum leaves. The plant tag in the attached picture is 3.5 inches wide for reference. I think that this will be a small tree and appears to be a slow grower. My first plant in the ground was a favorite of the rabbits and was cut back the first winter. I have replaced it with a larger one and hope the cats will keep the pests away this winter.

For those who are searching, came across this today... Seems like they have a few rarer plants, might have to keep them in mind come spring.

finally sprout!!pics date today

 

Fall 2013, The pictures speak for themselves.

 

Very cool tree. It seems like one worth owning. By the way, I like your ID tags. They are very clear and easy to read, without being too big or distracting.

 

very nice!mine is in life again but italian sun burned the leaves,and no fall colors

 

My new tree from Diana at Topiary Gardens - can't wait to see the leaves, hopefully the Kansas summer doesn't stress it too badly.

 

Growing well this spring :)

 

Andrea, I have mine in mostly shade. Planted early this spring and had about 1/3 eaten by deer. New leaves came out from the eaten branches but show no color and little verigation. Thinking of moving it to a much sunnier location. Your suggestion?

 

Geezer, mine is currently getting about 4-5 hours direct morning sun, then full shade after, and seems to be doing well - no burn has been noticed so far. Hope this helps!!

 

Can someone suggest where to purchase or order this tree in Ottawa/Canada?
Is it grown from seed or graft onto a root stock?
Such a unique and beautiful fall color. Thanks so much!

 

very nice red branch in winter too

 

Never from seed, usually grafted but perhaps rarely a rooted cutting. Sorry can't suggest where to get hold of one.

 

also is possible by air layering :)

 

Planted two months ago from a nursery pot. Surprisingly sun tolerant for a variegated species. Mostly un-scorched leaves despite receiving full afternoon sun, though the variegation has faded.

 

This pic is of @NJACER 'Kumoi nishiki' on 11/5/22. This tree looked amazing! It's in the ground and is in full sun.
