Acer cappadocicum

Cappadocian maple

A medium to large sized deciduous tree with good Autumn colour, this Maple hails from the Caucasus and Asia Minor region. Acer cappadocium has a lovely rounded habit, grows well in Ireland and often turns a rich butter-yellow at leaf fall, which is a great contrast to the red hues of lots of other trees. It will also tolerate moderate damp.
