A lively, arching tree with an upright, bushy growth habit.
Features deeply lobed leaves with stunning variegation that changes throughout the seasons.
In spring, foliage is red-purple with bright pink edges, transitioning to grey-green with cream and pink margins in summer.
Provides a final flourish of scarlet colour in autumn.
Reaches a compact size of 5 x 4 metres but can be pruned to suit any garden.
Ideal as a standalone feature tree or in a mixed border.
Professionally pruned before dispatch to encourage a robust, bushy shape.

Species: Acer
Features: Fantastic foliage, Autumn colour
Flower Colour: Small purple-red flowers in spring
Flowering Season: March, April, May
Foliage Colour: Cream, Green, Pink, Purple, Red, Variegated
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Soil Type: Acers are tolerant of most soils and conditions, including poorly drained soil. They prefer moist, fertile soil.
Hardiness: Hardy. Acers are frost-hardy, though new shoots might be damaged by sudden frosts.
Habit: An arching, upright shaped tree
Eventual Spread: Spreads approx 4m
Eventual Height: Grows to a height of approx 5m within 10-20 years
Pest & Disease Resistance: Acers encounter few problems with pests and diseases. They may be susceptible to aphids, which can be washed off by spraying with soapy water.

Planting Time: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
Spacing: Plant 4m apart to allow for spreading.
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. A container grown tree will need more watering until its roots are established. It should be watered every other day or so for the first few months, then reduce to twice a week until autumn. In the second year, it should have an established enough root system to support itself; just water when required in dry spells. When watering, it is better to water heavily and less frequently than little and often.
Feeding: When planting, replace half the soil from the planting hole with compost. Your Acer will then appreciate an annual light mulch in spring.
Pruning: Acer trees do not require a lot of pruning. Remove any damaged or diseased branches when the tree is in leaf or just after leaf fall. This will prevent bleeding, which although it is not detrimental, can look unsightly. When pruning, make sure to maintain an even framework.
