Bring elegant structure and vibrant seasonal colour to your outdoor space with the beautiful Red Acer (Acer palmatum), commonly known as the Japanese Maple.
This graceful deciduous tree is admired for its finely divided burgundy-red foliage and elegant branching habit. Throughout the growing season, it creates a striking feature display before developing spectacular crimson and scarlet tones in autumn, adding exceptional seasonal interest to gardens and outdoor spaces.
Supplied in a 3L nursery pot with decorative planter options available, the Red Acer is perfect for patios, balconies, courtyards, borders and container planting. Its compact growth habit makes it an excellent choice for smaller gardens, while its refined appearance brings a peaceful Japanese garden feel to both traditional and contemporary settings.
Each plant is carefully selected and securely packaged by Plants by Post before dispatch. As this is a natural living product, the exact height, shape, foliage density and seasonal colour may vary slightly from the photographs.

Mulching around the base in spring can help retain moisture and support healthy growth.
