Acer paxii Camellia The leaves and flowers areThis rare maple is native to south western China, where it can be found growing up to 15m tall. It is quite a unique maple as it is one of the few evergreen maples, and is seldom seen in Australian gardens. A slow grower, it does not cope with heavy frosts but will tolerate light ones. Full sun to part shade.
