Product Description
One of the prettiest, compact-growing Acers for smaller gardens, pots and patios, this striking small tree gives you plenty of fabulous colour through the year.
In spring, the dainty, lobed leaves emerge salmon pink, covering the bush in a soft peach glow - a fabulous sight to behold - before maturing to a variegated lime green and cream. Then, in autumn, the leaves turn a uniform lime-green before falling.
Fully at home in Oriental-style gardens, flower borders or on your patio in a large pot, where it can remain for 10 years quite happily, Acer 'Taylor' is a garden plant that no gardener should be without!
Supplied in a 3L pot, ready for you to plant out or pot on.

Plant Information
Top Tips
- Leaf colour is best in partial shade, although full sun will be tolerated.
Care Guide
Planting Advice for your Acer
- If your soil is slightly acidic, then you have the perfect conditions to grow Japanese maples - however do not worry if you have not as most can be grown in other soils as long as they are not wet, dry or very alkaline.
- If growing in a pot, use a 50/50 mix of ericaceous and multipurpose compost if you can - although again don't worry overly about this.
- If planting in the garden, prepare a wide hole and loosen the soil with a fork, incorporating organic matter as needed to improve moisture retention and condition.
- Plant your Acer so that the top of the root ball is just slightly below ground level.
- Fill the planting hole with soil and heel well in. Water well.
Aftercare advice
- Leaf colour is best in partial shade, although full sun can be tolerated as long as the plant is well watered.
- Avoid exposed places as leaves can suffer with windburn (scorch), especially if the plant is dry.
- Allow your Japanese Maple to get used to a whole day in the sun by starting it off in the shade, then standing it in its final sunny spot (in pot or in the garden soil) for one hour longer every day for a week.
- Water regularly and deeply.
- Feed with our specialist Acer feed.
- Mulch every couple of years with well-rotted garden compost or well-rotted manure or leaf mould.
Pruning advice for your Acer
- Acers generally do not need pruning, just remove any branches that are dead or damaged.

My TWO plants arrived in the same tall thin box, one plant was put on top of the other, not squashing the plant but placed on top of the other plant pot which did damage one sprig of the bottom plant. I think this was done to save carriage but I did pay enough for both plants and carriage so surprised to the lack of careProduct:
Little on the small side but ok

Appalling service! I still have not received or had any word of dispatch of my order placed on 1/4/22. I have not been kept updated regarding the delay. It seems to be a couldn?t care less attitude even though money was deducted from my account on 1/4/22. When I have called, staff seem totally unbothered.Product:
I have received two of these plants which both died for no obvious reason. I have now received my third, so really hoping I succeed in this one surviving. Looks like a beautiful plant if only it would stay alive.

I was surprised to see everything squashed into one narrow box but thankfully the plants were undamaged. Packaging could have been stronger and better!
