Acer sieboldianum 'Seki-no-kegon'
Discovered in 1970 in Fukushima Prefecture as a natural seedling of a weeping Acer sieboldianum, 'Seki-no-kegon' is a rare and remarkable cultivar. The original tree, still growing in Fukushima, reached only about 3 meters in height after more than thirty years, reflecting its moderate vigor.
The name honors both its discoverer, Mr. Kazou Seki, and the famous Kegon-no-taki waterfall near the city of Kanuma, giving rise to the full name 'Seki-no-kegon'. Unlike most weeping Japanese maples, which typically bear finely dissected leaves, this cultivar develops large, broad foliage that creates a dense and graceful silhouette. In autumn, the leaves change from deep purplish-red to a brilliant, vivid red before falling.
Young plants often show a semi-weeping habit, which becomes more pronounced with age, enhancing its cascading form. Grafted onto Acer sieboldianum, it offers excellent hardiness and can be cultivated in cold climates, tolerating conditions down to USDA zone 4, or slightly lower. Under favorable conditions, it typically reaches 0.9–1.2 m in height and 1.8–2.4 m in width after about ten years.
Introduced to Europe by Guy Maillot. At maturity, this maple forms striking horizontal, wave-like branches, making it the only sieboldianum with such a spectacular growth habit.
