Plant Description

The Acer davidii, commonly known as the David’s Maple or Snakebark Maple, is a medium-sized deciduous tree prized for its striking striped bark. The bark features a unique pattern of green, white, and gray vertical streaks that resemble snakeskin, adding visual interest year-round. Its ovate leaves are bright green in spring and summer, turning golden yellow or red in autumn. Small clusters of greenish-yellow flowers bloom in spring, followed by paired samaras. Native to China, the Acer davidii is a graceful and ornamental choice for gardens and arboretums.

Cultivation

• Soil type: Thrives in moist, well-drained soil, slightly acidic to neutral, rich in organic matter.

• Watering frequency: Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist but not soggy, especially during dry periods.

• Light exposure: Prefers partial shade but can tolerate full sun in cooler climates; protect from harsh afternoon sun in hot regions.

• Fertilization: Use a slow-release balanced fertilizer in spring to support healthy growth and foliage color.

• Pruning: Prune lightly in late winter to shape the tree and remove deadwood. Avoid excessive pruning to maintain its natural form.

• Common pests: Susceptible to aphids, spider mites, and scale insects. Use organic pest control when needed.

• Other tips: Apply a layer of mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and regulate temperature but avoid direct contact with the trunk.
