ICNCP Name: 'Tate-nami'

Formerly 'Tate nami'

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
健浪 is an unusual spelling for Tate-nishiki, but we are given the rōmaji by the kana たてなみ. It is probably a gikun (unusual reading) or ateji (phonetic reading that may not correspond to the usual reading). From the kanji spelling we can guess it means "Vigorous and Free-spirited." a quality that is certainly recognizable in some cultivars. (ED)

Date of Origin if known:

1923
