ICNCP Name: 'Ō-boku'
Formerly 'Ōboku'
The International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP) establishes the rules and regulations for proper naming of plants. When different, the cultivar database displays the correct(ed) ICNCP name, rather than its previous cultivar name.
Japanese Maple Classification:
Hardiness Zone (for guidance only):
5 to 9
黄木, Ō-boku, means "Yellow Tree" directly. Ō is the on'yomi (Sino Japanese) reading of 黄, yellow, which we are perhaps more familiar with the kun'yomi (Native Japanese) reading, "ki". The same is true for 木, tree, "ki" (again) as a kun'uomi reading, but boku/moku read in the on'yomi fashion. The checklist 1st ed. incorrectly ommitted the macron over the first "o". (ED)
