Acer palmatum Horizontalis
Acer palmatum Horizontalis

The Horizontal Japanese Maple

With a wide spreading growth habit, rather than upright, Acer palmatum Horizontalis makes an interesting addition to the garden.

The growth habit is outwards with a natural arching or slightly pendulous habit. New foliage is a pale to lime green in spring, turning a deeper green in summer.

Care and Planting.

Acer palmatum Horizontalis is a very hardy and tolerant tree once established, it does however perform better in cooler climates.

In warmer areas protection from the hot afternoon sun will be beneficial.

  • Prepare the soil well before planting by digging in some well rotted compost and aged manure.
  • Ensure that drainage is good, in poorly drained soils either amend the soil, or hill up the soil and plant the tree raised a little.
  • Water in well with a liquid seaweed fertiliser.
  • Mulch to maintain a cool root run.
  • Water as required through the first few summers.

Landscaping Uses.

Acer palmatum Horizontalis is grown for unusual yet attractive growth habit.

It spreads out rather than up and over time develops a slight weeping habit. It makes an excellent low growing plant in the border, or a low feature tree in the broader landscape.

As it will grow well in light shade it can also be used beneath larger deciduous trees to create a layered effect.

Summary Information

  • Height – To around 2-3 metres in height, depending on climate and soil.
  • Spread – Acer palmatum Horizontalis will form a crown of 2 metres across over time.
