Ji Jiao Japanese Maple
Acer palmatum 'Ji Jiao'
Acer palmatum 'Ji Jiao', also known as "Cockscomb" maple, is a striking cultivar of Japanese maple that is named for the unique and eye-catching shape of its leaves, which resemble the crest of a rooster's head. The leaves are small and deeply lobed, with serrated edges and a bright green color that turns to golden-yellow in the fall. This cultivar typically grows to a height of around 6-8 feet with a similar spread, and prefers partial shade and well-drained, acidic soil. It is hardy in USDA zones 5-9 and is well-suited to use in Japanese-style gardens, mixed borders, or as a focal point in a small garden. Its distinctive foliage and vibrant fall color make it a popular choice for gardeners and landscapers looking to add some unique visual interest to their landscape.
