Acer Palmatum – Japanese Maple – Large 7ft-8ft Tree

The original Japanese maple, with fresh green spring foliage, that turns stunning blood red in autumn before it falls. Leaves are 5–7 lobed and cut halfway to the centre of the leaf blade. The foliage is fresh green with occasional red tints in spring and looks wonderful on a sunny autumn day with the sun shining on its scarlet colours before it falls for winter. Throughout summer, the finely lobed leaves maintain their graceful, airy appearance, offering gentle shade and movement in the garden. As the seasons shift, the tree transforms into a fiery focal point, with brilliant autumn tones that light up any landscape.
This elegant, slow-growing tree is ideal for small gardens, patios, or woodland borders. It thrives in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil and prefers a sheltered spot in partial shade, though it will tolerate full sun if protected from strong winds and afternoon heat. Pair with ferns, azaleas, or ornamental grasses for a serene, Japanese-inspired planting scheme. Minimal pruning is required – simply remove any dead or crossing branches in late winter or early spring to maintain its natural shape.
Supplied in approx. 10-12 litre containers.
