An elegant, deciduous shrub with an upright, rounded, and spreading form.
Enjoy a stunning seasonal display as deeply lobed leaves emerge pink in spring, turn bright green in summer, and blaze with oranges, golds, and reds in autumn.
A versatile choice, perfect as a lawn specimen, in a mixed border, as a hedge, or grown in a patio container.
This fully hardy, slow-growing shrub reaches an eventual height of up to 5m.
A low-maintenance favourite that requires only minimal pruning.

Species: Acer
Features: Autumn colour
Planting Time: All year round
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Soil: Prefers moist, fertile soil but is tolerant of most types, except heavy clay.

Habit: Upright and spreading with a rounded form.
Eventual Spread: Approximately 4m
Eventual Height: Up to 5m
Growth Rate: Slow, growing up to 30cm per year.
Pest & Disease: Excellent resistance. May be susceptible to aphids, which can be washed off.

Feeding: When planting, mix the soil from the hole with compost. Apply a light mulch each spring.
Watering: Water thoroughly after planting. As a bare root shrub, it will only require watering during dry spells once established.
