Acer × pseudosieboldianum 'Origami'

Acer × pseudosieboldianum ‘Origami’, or the rare Japanese maple 'Origami', is an exceptional small maple from Iseli's selections, captivating with its compact rounded habit and finely cut foliage, reminiscent of delicate Japanese paper folding. This dwarf shrub reaches approximately 2.5 m (8 ft x 8 ft) in height and width at maturity, with a slow growth rate of 10 to 15 cm per year, ideal for small gardens, rockeries, decorative containers, or shaded areas. Its soft green foliage in spring remains elegant throughout the summer, then transforms into golden yellow, orange, and flamboyant crimson red in autumn, offering a unique colorful spectacle. Perfectly suited for hardiness zones 5 and above, 'Origami' prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soils and exposure from sun to partial shade. Its sculptural form, refined texture, and discreet robustness make it a reliable choice for well-maintained landscapes in temperate climates.
