Botanical nameAcer × pseudosieboldianum 'Arctic Jade'

Acer × pseudosieboldianum ‘Arctic Jade’, also known as 'Arctic Jade' hardy maple, is a remarkable hybrid that combines the graphic elegance of the Japanese maple with the winter hardiness of the Manchurian maple, creating a decorative small tree perfectly suited to harsh climates like that of Quebec. Its deeply cut, broad, lush dark green foliage is reminiscent of Acer palmatum, while offering spectacular autumn colors in shades of orange, red, and coral. With a rounded, spreading habit and moderate growth, it reaches up to 6 meters in height, with a graceful and luminous silhouette, ideal for Asian-inspired gardens, ornamental beds, or as a standalone specimen. Very hardy (down to -40 °C), it thrives in cool, well-drained soil, in sunny to semi-shaded conditions, bringing texture, movement, and color to any well-maintained northern landscape.
