Acer ‘Oliver’s Maple’

Acer oliverianum 

Acer oliverianum, known as Oliver’s maple or Oliver maple, is a deciduous tree with broad leaves. The bark of Acer oliverianum is smooth and jade green, featuring delicate white waxy stripes. In the wild, it can reach heights of up to 20 meters in Taiwan, although it typically only grows to be around 5 to 8 meters when cultivated. Its branches tend to spread out horizontally, resembling those of Acer palmatum, the Japanese Maple.
