'Kumoi Nishiki' is a variegated selection, its leaves flecked and splashed with cream and white over the green ground colour, which lightens the whole canopy and makes the tree read as a pale presence in a shaded bed. Variegated maples are slower and more sun-sensitive than their green parents, so this one asks for a sheltered spot and rewards it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Kumoi Nishiki Siebold Maple\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCream variegation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Leaves carry irregular cream and white flecking that varies leaf to leaf, giving a dappled canopy.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRounded lobed leaves\u003c\/strong\u003e: Softly downy, many-lobed leaves are rounder and gentler in outline than a typical Japanese maple.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlow refined growth\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stays small for many years, making it manageable in a courtyard or small garden.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight in shade\u003c\/strong\u003e: The pale foliage brightens shaded beds where green-leaved maples disappear.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutumn tones\u003c\/strong\u003e: Colours through yellow and orange in cool districts before leaf fall.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaded courtyard feature\u003c\/strong\u003e: Its pale canopy lifts an enclosed space that gets no direct afternoon sun.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollector and specimen beds\u003c\/strong\u003e: A genuinely uncommon maple worth siting where it can be examined closely.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWoodland understorey\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grows well beneath a high deciduous canopy in cool districts.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeature containers\u003c\/strong\u003e: Suits a large glazed pot in a protected, part-shaded position.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e Not a screening tree; 2.5m if grouped\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 to 4m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Winter while dormant, or very early spring\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, humus-rich, slightly acid, free-draining soil; keep the root zone cool\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstablishment Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water consistently through the first three summers, since the pale variegated tissue burns far sooner than green foliage when the plant is short of water.
