Acer palmatum Details

Acer palmatum is a Japanese Maple grown for its rich display of delicate foliage that changes colour with the seasons. Leaves on this small, deciduous tree emerge light green in spring, age to mid-green through summer, then turn a lovely purple-red in autumn before falling. It grows with an upright habit, producing a broad crown about 5 m tall and 3 m wide when mature. This tree grows best when planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of frosts, cool climates, some wind, and will grow on a range of soil types, but will struggle at the extremes of wet and dry. Acer palmatum is a magnificent specimen requiring little maintenance and is ideal for parks, home gardens, or growing anywhere as a specimen. It makes for a lovely shade tree and group plantings give a dazzling display, particularly in autumn.
