Insights
This modern variety has been bred to retain all the beauty of a traditional Acer, but with more resilience, so it is winter hardy and will tolerate full sun. It is superb all year as once the leaves have dropped, the bare branches take on a new life and look superb when threaded with fairy lights.
Details
Flowers: Acers produce insignificant flowers in the spring which develop into attractively winged seed pods
Planting
- Moist, well drained, slightly acidic soil
- Container
- Full sun, partial shade
- South, east, west facing
- Hardy
- Sheltered
Care
Acers need sunlight but planting them in a sheltered, partially sunny position will heighten the colour. The preference for a slightly acidic soil can indicate container planting. Do not allow them to dry out; water in summer especially if planted in a container. Too exposed or too dry and the leaves may scorch. Prune lightly in November if necessary.
