Product Description

The Acer palmatum Mix brings together a range of Japanese Maple varieties, each selected for its unique foliage and seasonal interest. These trees are celebrated for their finely cut leaves, which create a delicate canopy that adds movement and structure to any planting scheme.

Foliage colour varies across the mix, from fresh greens to deep purples in spring and summer, before transitioning into a brilliant autumn display. In spring, small red flowers may appear, later developing into ornamental winged fruits that enhance the tree’s visual appeal.

Well-suited to a sheltered position in full sun or partial shade, these trees thrive in moist but well-drained, acidic to neutral soil. Supplied in a 15cm pot, they are ideal for growing on, whether planted directly into borders or displayed in decorative containers.
