Japanese Acer Maple

Description

Features:
✓ Small, bushy trees
✓ Great in the ground or in pots
✓ Low maintenance
✓ Slow-growing

✓ Good Autumn leaf colour

'Trompenburg' has red-purple leaves with distinct rolled edges making it easily identifiable against other, similar red-purple leaved Acers. Leaves fade to green in summer, then turning oranges and reds in autumn, before falling. It will grow into a small, rounded tree/large shrub up to a height of 4m by an equal 4m width. Planting in dappled shade will ensure the best foliage display.
