Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Acer oblongum Family: Aceraceae Author: Wallich. ex DC. Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: 9 Mature Width: Habitat: Found in lime-free soils in forests at altitudes between1000 - 3000 metres[51, 200].
Cultivation Notes: Of easy cultivation, it prefers a good moist well-drained soil[11] in a sunny position but tolerates some shade[11, 200]. Grows well in heavy clay soils. Chlorosis can sometimes develop as a result of iron deficiency when the plants are grown in alkaline soils, but in general maples are not fussy as to soil pH. This species is found on acid soils in the wild[200].
This species is not hardy in all parts of Britain, forms from China are hardier but even then this species is better grown in the warmer parts of the country[1, 166].
Most maples are bad companion plants, inhibiting the growth of nearby plants[18, 20].
