Description

Acer palmatum – Japanese Maple, is a deciduous ornamental tree admired for its form and vibrant seasonal colour. Summer sees fresh green foliage transform into a display of oranges, reds, and yellows in autumn.

Originating from Japan, Acer Palmatum is best planted in a sheltered spot away from strong winds to protect its delicate leaves. Its compact size and elegant structure make it a versatile choice for a wide range of garden styles—from traditional to contemporary.

Ideal as a shade tree for smaller gardens, the Japanese Maple typically reaches around 5 metres tall and 4 metres wide, offering year-round visual interest and appeal.
