{"product_id":"aconitifolium-dancing-peacock","title":"Aconitifolium Dancing Peacock Fern-Leaf Japanese Maple Acer Tree - Live Plant","description":"\u003cp class=\"x12ofw9d\"\u003eBring extraordinary texture, movement, and brilliant seasonal color to your garden with the Japanese maple ‘Aconitifolium’, also known as Mai-kujaku, Fernleaf Full Moon maple, and Dancing Peacock maple. This exceptional ornamental maple is prized for its deeply cut, fern-like foliage, graceful branching, and spectacular autumn display that makes it a standout in any landscape. In spring, Dancing Peacock unfurls large, bright green leaves with distinctive, deeply divided lobes that resemble the elegant feathers of a peacock. As the foliage matures through summer, it develops a rich green color, creating a lush, textured canopy with beautiful movement in the slightest breeze. In autumn, this Japanese maple becomes a breathtaking focal point as its foliage transforms into brilliant shades of scarlet red, fiery orange, golden yellow, and burgundy. The name Mai-kujaku, meaning “Dancing Peacock,” perfectly captures the character of this remarkable tree. Its finely divided leaves fan outward like feathers, giving the plant an unusually graceful appearance among ornamental maples. Small reddish flowers appear in spring, adding another seasonal detail before the tree's magnificent fall colors take center stage. Its distinctive silhouette and vibrant fall color make it an excellent choice for collectors seeking something special beyond the more familiar Japanese maple varieties. Whether planted as a specimen tree, featured in a Japanese-inspired garden, incorporated into a woodland landscape, or positioned where its autumn colors can be enjoyed from a patio or window, Dancing Peacock offers year-round ornamental interest and exceptional garden character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"x12ofw9d\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/em\u003e Deciduous ornamental tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"x12ofw9d\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eSun Exposure:\u003c\/em\u003e Part shade; \u003cspan\u003emorning sun and afternoon protection are beneficial in warmer locations\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"x12ofw9d\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eMature Size: \u003c\/em\u003e15 ft tall and wide in 10 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"x12ofw9d\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eHardiness Zones:\u003c\/em\u003e USDA 5-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"x12ofw9d\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eSoil Preference: \u003c\/em\u003eWell-draining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"x12ofw9d\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eWatering:\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cspan\u003eModerate; consistent moisture is important, especially during establishment\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease Note: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e**Each plant is unique and may vary slightly in size, color, or shape from the photos shown.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e**All photos are representative of each plant's typical growth habit, color, \u0026amp; features and may not depict the exact crop available at time of purchase\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e**All trees are GRAFTED (unless otherwise noted in listing title)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flying Dragon Nursery","offers":[{"title":"1 gallon","offer_id":47958558900442,"sku":null,"price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3708\/5402\/files\/acer-japonicum-aconitifolium-dancing-peacock-japanese-maple-1.jpg?v=1780798253","url":"https:\/\/flyingdragonnursery.com\/products\/aconitifolium-dancing-peacock","provider":"Flying Dragon Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
