It builds slowly into a broad, multi-stemmed small tree with a layered canopy, and its autumn colour runs through gold and orange to deep crimson. Where the palmate Japanese maples can look fine and fussy, this one has a softer, more substantial leaf and a calmer presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Siebold Maple\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRounded lobed leaves\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nine to eleven shallow lobes on a broad circular leaf give a fuller, softer canopy texture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCreamy spring flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pale yellow flower clusters hang beneath the emerging foliage, unusual among the ornamental maples.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrong autumn colour\u003c\/strong\u003e: Turns gold to orange and often deep crimson in cool districts.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-stemmed frame\u003c\/strong\u003e: Naturally branches low into a layered, vase-shaped tree with good winter structure.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShade tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: A genuine woodland species that flowers and colours well in filtered light.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWoodland garden canopy\u003c\/strong\u003e: The natural mid-storey tree above hellebores, ferns and shade perennials.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCool-climate lawn specimen\u003c\/strong\u003e: A single tree in turf where the layered branching can be read.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheltered courtyards\u003c\/strong\u003e: The broad low canopy suits an enclosed space in a cool district.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutumn colour groupings\u003c\/strong\u003e: Planted with other maples and deciduous shrubs for a staged autumn display.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 to 4m in an informal woodland grouping\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 to 6m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Winter while dormant, or early spring before bud break\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, humus-rich, slightly acid loam with free drainage; dislikes lime and compaction\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEstablishment Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water deeply and regularly through the first three summers, keeping the soil evenly moist rather than swinging between wet and dry.
