Acer × pseudosieboldianum 'North Wind'

Acer × pseudosieboldianum ‘North Wind’, known as the 'North Wind' hardy maple, is an ultra-resilient hybrid maple, specially developed for harsh northern climates, with cold tolerance down to -40 °C. It combines the elegant appearance of a Japanese maple with the robustness of the Manchurian maple, offering deeply lobed dark green foliage that transforms in autumn into a vibrant gradient of scarlet red, coral, and orange. Its rounded to slightly pyramidal habit and moderate growth make it an ideal tree for residential gardens, ornamental plantings, or Asian-inspired landscaping. It adapts easily to cool, well-drained soils and prefers a sunny to partially shaded exposure. The 'North Wind' maple is a top choice for Quebec gardeners looking for a decorative maple with Asian charm and unbeatable hardiness.
