Acer sterculaceum Deciduous tree (1 Page of 5) The Acer sterculaceum plant species is found in E. Asia - Himalayas from Kashmir to Bhutan. It is a member of the Aceraceae family. Some home gardeners know the variety as A. villosum. Wallich. Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Acer sterculaceum Family: Aceraceae Author: Wallich. Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: 6 Mature Width: Habitat: Forests at altitudes between 2100 - 3900 metres[51].
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 not very hardy in Britain and is unlikely to succeed outside the milder parts of the country. Forms from the W. Himalayas are likely to be the hardiest.
Most maples are bad companion plants, inhibiting the growth of nearby plants[18, 20].
