Acer palmatum

Acer palmatum is one of the most popular of the Japanese Maples due all over the country, due to its slow growing habit that makes it perfect for container and patio pot growing. A genuinely striking small tree that likes a dappled shade corner with plenty of shelter or protection from the elements, it is elegant and vibrant. Foliage turns from mid-green in summer to warm orange, yellow and red in autumn. Height and spread: Up to 8m (26').
