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. As the seasons change, the leaves transform into a brilliant autumn display, making these trees a true focal point. In spring, delicate red flowers may appear, followed by attractive winged fruits that add subtle detail.

Best grown in a sheltered position in full sun or partial shade, these trees thrive in moist but well-drained, acidic to neutral soil. Supplied in a 10.5cm pot, they are ideal for nurturing as they establish, making them a great choice for gardeners who enjoy watching plants mature over time.
