Negundo Aceroides Var. Violaceum

Violaceum maple, scientifically known as Negundo aceroides var. violaceum, is a rare and striking species of maple native to the mountainous regions of Southeast Asia. Its most notable feature is its vivid violet to purple foliage, which sets it apart from other maple varieties. This plant thrives in humid, shaded environments and is often found in dense forests with rich, well-drained soil. Due to its unique coloration and limited distribution, it is highly sought after by botanists and horticulturists. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect this beautiful and ecologically important species from habitat loss and over-collection.
