Acer palmatum ‘Osakazuki’ is one of the most celebrated Japanese maples, prized for its spectacular autumn colour, reliable performance, and classic palmate leaf shape. Unlike the finely dissected lace-leaf varieties, ‘Osakazuki’ has broader leaves that create a bold, elegant look.

🌿 Key Features:

  • Foliage: Medium to large, seven-lobed, deeply cut leaves that emerge fresh green in spring, maintain a bright green through summer, then transform to brilliant scarlet or crimson in autumn — among the most vivid of all maples.

  • Habit: Grows into a graceful, rounded, upright small tree or large shrub, typically reaching 4–6 metres tall with a similar spread over time. Its structure makes it ideal as a focal specimen.

  • Bark: Smooth grey-brown stems provide subtle winter interest.

🌸 Seasonal Interest:

  • Particularly renowned for autumn — its leaf colour often described as the most intense red of any Japanese maple.

  • Works beautifully in traditional gardens, woodland edges, or as a lawn specimen where it can show off its shape.


🌱 Detailed Care Guide for Acer palmatum ‘Osakazuki’

📍 Position & Light

  • Prefers partial shade or dappled sunlight.

  • Can handle more sun than many other Japanese maples, but protection from the hottest midday sun helps avoid leaf scorch.

  • Shelter from cold, drying winds is important to protect foliage.

🌬️ Shelter

  • Likes a protected spot, especially when young. Avoid exposed sites that can cause windburn on leaves.

💧 Watering

  • Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

  • During hot dry spells, water thoroughly to prevent stress and leaf drop.

  • Apply a mulch in spring to help conserve moisture and keep roots cool.

🪴 Soil

  • Prefers slightly acidic to neutral, fertile, well-drained soils.

  • Avoid heavy clays unless well improved with organic matter.

  • In alkaline soils, grow in a raised bed or large container with ericaceous compost.

🍽️ Feeding

  • Feed lightly in spring with a balanced slow-release fertiliser.

  • Avoid high-nitrogen fertilisers that encourage rapid soft growth susceptible to frost and wind damage.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

  • Generally low maintenance.

  • Remove any dead, damaged or crossing branches in late autumn or winter.

  • Light shaping is best done when fully dormant (mid-winter), as pruning in spring can cause bleeding.

🪲 Pests & Problems

  • Generally healthy and trouble-free.

  • May occasionally see aphids on young growth or leaf scorch from drought, wind or excessive sun.

🚰 Container Growing

  • ‘Osakazuki’ can be grown in a large pot if space is limited.

  • Use ericaceous or loam-based compost mixed with grit for drainage.

  • Raise pots on feet to avoid waterlogging.

  • Keep well-watered and sheltered in winter to prevent frost damage to roots.
