\u2018Nicholsonii\u2019 offers a double interest:<\/p>\n
dark, clean summer foliage with a well-defined shape,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
highly decorative red fruits (samaras), especially striking against the green in late summer \/ early autumn.
This is a cultivar that gains real presence with age.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Spring <\/strong>: foliage often purple-red at budbreak, then transitions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Summer<\/strong> : rich green \/ dark green.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Autumn<\/strong> : golden yellow then crimson (intensity varies with conditions).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Branched, rather spreading habit, with an airy silhouette. Moderate to good vigour.<\/p>\n Order of magnitude: around 4 to 5 m in the long run (sometimes more depending on conditions), with a similar spread if the tree is left unpruned. In a container, growth remains more contained.<\/p>\n Gentle sun \/ bright partial shade. Good light enhances autumn colour and showcases the fruits, but protection from scorching sun and dry wind improves foliage quality, especially in a container. Free-draining soil that stays cool in summer.<\/p>\n The cultivar is documented under the name \u2018Nicholsonii\u2019 from 1893: it was an earlier horticultural name (marketed under another name) and was then renamed in honour of Kew\u2019s curator at the time.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u2018Nicholsonii\u2019 is an elegant, fairly broad Japanese maple, appreciated for its large dark green leaves\u2014long and pointed\u2014and especially for its cherry-red samaras that stand out in late summer.
