The foliage is held on branches that gracefully arch downwards and it typically grows to 2.5 m tall and 3 m wide. Acer Atropurpureum is a magnificent specimen tree that is ideal for adding to a mixed planting, growing in courtyards, planting around outdoor living areas, or using anywhere the beauty of this plant can be appreciated.

Acer palmatum dissectum Atropurpureum Details

Acer palmatum dissectum Atropurpureum is a popular variety of Japanese Maple due to its form, foliage, and wondrous display of colourful foliage. This attractive, small tree bears feathery, purple foliage in spring which ages to become darker during summer. As autumn progresses the leaves develop shade of red and orange before falling. The display is dramatic and very aesthetic. The foliage is held on branches that gracefully arch downwards and it typically grows to 2.5 m tall and 3 m wide though it can be trimmed as necessary. Best results with this tree are achieved when it is planted in full sun on a well-drained, moderately sheltered site. It is tolerant of frost and cool climates and will grow on a range of soil types but will struggle at the extremes of wet and dry. Acer Atropurpureum is a magnificent specimen tree that is ideal for adding to a mixed planting, growing in courtyards, planting around outdoor living areas, or using anywhere the beauty of this plant can be appreciated.
