- Planting & Care
- Features stunning five-lobed, serrated leaves that emerge wine-red and mature to a brilliant bright red in autumn.
- Also known as 'Wolff', this variety develops its leaves later in spring, helping to minimise the risk of frost damage.
- The rich foliage grows on striking, dark burgundy-black branches, creating a beautiful year-round contrast.
- With a slow growth rate and upright habit, it reaches an eventual height of 5m and spread of 4m, making it ideal for smaller gardens.
- Fully hardy for UK winters, it's a perfect centrepiece for a Japanese-themed garden, pairing well with bamboo, cherry blossoms, and wisteria.
- Species: Acer
- Features: Autumn colour
- Flowering Season: Late spring
- Foliage Colour: Purple, Red
- Habit: Upright
- Eventual Spread: 4m
- Hardiness: Fully hardy
- Choose a sheltered location, protected from strong winds and the harshest midday sun which can scorch the leaves.
- Japanese maples thrive in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. If your soil is heavy clay or very alkaline, consider growing in a large container with ericaceous compost.
- When planting, dig a hole twice the width of the pot. Water thoroughly before and after planting.
- Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells in the first few years.
- Pruning is minimal. Simply remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches during the dormant season (late autumn to winter).
