Acer palmatum – Japanese maple 25 Litre. 1-1.25m tall
Acer palmatum is a beautiful, small, deciduous tree with a rounded habit. This tree produces attractive, deeply lobed foliage which emerges as mid-green and turns to seasonal shades of orange and red before falling in Autumn. In spring, red flowers also appear, followed by winged fruits in autumn, this provides gardens with regular, small bursts of eye-catching colour and seasonal interest. The Japanese maple will reach a mature height of 8m, growing in moist, well-draining soils. When planting ornamental acers, we recommend that they are planted in positions that provide plants with shade in the morning and full sun in the afternoon. This will help to avoid leaf scorch caused by excessive exposure to the sun or the evaporation of morning dew on the leaves. Often planted for its foliage, the Japanese maple is a popular architectural plant, ideal for planters, city gardens and rock gardens.
