Product Description
One of the best and easiest compact growing Acers for smaller gardens, pots and patios, this gorgeous red foliaged small tree offers so much interest througout the year.
The 'Dissectum' part of the name refers to the very feathery leaves, which emerge in early spring the most gorgeous burgundy red, and remain in deep colour all summer, turning redder still in autumn.
A slow growing, spreading tree with the perfect balanced habit, it is great as a border specimen, or in a large pot, where it can remain for 10 years quite happily - and you can take it with you if you move house!. A great investment for any garden.

Plant Information
Top Tips
Protect from drying winds to keep the leaves fresh.
Care Guide
- When poitioning your acer, avoid exposed places as leaves can suffer with wind-burn (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.
- 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 palmatum 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.
