Ogi no sen
29,90 €
A collector Japanese maple with palmate foliage and a naturally elegant silhouette. Seasonal interest is strong, with foliage that evolves through the months and a warm finish toward the end of the season. Particularly well-suited to gentle exposures (bright partial shade / morning sun), both in containers and in the garden.
Character & interest
Acer japonicum ‘Ogi no sen’ stands out for its broad, easy-to-read foliage typical of japonicum types, with a very natural presence in the garden. Its main appeal is its “mass effect”: a light crown, foliage that catches the light well, and seasonal interest that enhances the plant without looking artificial.
Colours
-
Spring : tender foliage, often lighter at budbreak, then gradually deepening in tone.
-
Summer : deeper green, stable and harmonious.
-
Autumn : warm tones (yellow to orange, sometimes more nuanced depending on conditions).
(Exact tones vary widely with exposure, soil/substrate freshness and temperature swings.)
Habit & vigour
Natural habit, usually upright at first, then becoming more balanced with age. Moderate vigour, making it easy to integrate into a refined planting scheme and also interesting in a container over several years.
Indicative size
Small tree: around 2 to 4 m at maturity depending on training, exposure and growing conditions.
Exposure
Best results in bright partial shade or morning sun, sheltered from drying winds. In very hot situations, the foliage loses visual finesse and extremes (drought/wind) mark it more quickly.
