Product Description

The Acer palmatum Mix offers a diverse collection of Japanese Maple varieties, each bringing its own unique character to the garden. Known for their intricately cut leaves, these trees create a light, airy structure that adds elegance and movement to borders and patio displays.

Foliage colour varies across the mix, ranging from fresh green to deep burgundy tones throughout spring and summer.
