Acer pseudoplatanus purpureum Details

Acer pseudoplatanus Purpureum, commonly known as the Sycamore Maple, is a medium-sized, deciduous tree that features intensely coloured foliage. The leaves emerge purple-pink in spring, age to dark purple, then turn brilliant shades of yellow in autumn before falling. It grows with an upright and spreading growth habit to eventually reach 10 m tall and 8 m wide. Best results with this tree are achieved when it is positioned in full sun on a well-drained site with some shelter. 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 Purpureum makes for a magnificent specimen tree for larger properties, parks and the like, and provides great shade during summer. It can also be used on lifestyle properties to provide shelter and screening as well as wonderful colour.
