Japanese Maple

About this plant

A well-known upright Japanese maple, valued for its seasonal colour and striking stems. New growth turns a vivid red in late autumn and holds through winter, while older branches mature to a warm brown. In spring and summer, the foliage is a fresh light green, then shifts to yellow-orange tones in autumn. A popular choice as a feature tree, and equally effective planted in groups for stronger visual impact. Best positioned in a sheltered spot, protected from hot summer winds.
