A fast-growing deciduous tree with an elegant shape and spectacular autumn colour.
Features small clusters of red flowers in spring, followed by red berries.
Distinctive lobed leaves emerge red, mature to dark green, then blaze into golden yellows and fiery reds in autumn.
A beautiful feature tree for lawns or street planting, offering year-round appeal.
Smooth grey bark provides winter interest, becoming ridged with age.
Easy to grow and requires minimal maintenance.
Expertly pruned before dispatch to encourage a strong, bushy form.

Species: Acer
Features: Fantastic foliage, Autumn colour
Flowering Season: Early to Late Spring
Flowering Time: March to May
Flower Colour: Tiny red flowers in erect clusters
Foliage Colour: Red, Green
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Hardiness: H6 - Fully hardy in all of UK and northern Europe (-20 to -15°C)
Soil Type: Flourishes in any moderately fertile, moist, well-drained soil; prefers slightly acidic conditions.
Habit: Pyramidal when young, maturing to a rounded, bushy shape.
Eventual Spread: 8-15m
Pest & Disease: Good resistance; may be affected by aphids, horse chestnut scale or verticillium wilt.

Spacing: Plant 9m apart to allow for spreading.
Pruning: Needs little pruning. If necessary, prune during the dormant season, avoiding spring when sap is running.
Feeding: Feed in early spring before the leaves emerge with a granular general-purpose fertiliser.
Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. Water container-grown trees every other day for the first few months, then reduce to twice a week until autumn. Once established, water only during dry spells. It is better to water heavily and less frequently to encourage deep root growth.
