An interesting little variegated deciduous tree. It has a stunning pink tinge on young leaves in the spring which gradually turns to a greeny colour heading into summer. As the season progresses into autumn the leaves become more white until its leaf drop. This is a vigorous plant that can be kept as a large shrub or grown as a narrow upright tree. It can get to about 9m so excellent for the smaller more compact garden. It is a relative of the Japanese Maple but not actually a Japanese variety. Our garden designers like to use this Acer with it’s delicate variegated leaves as a key focal plant, the variegation helps lift a planting scheme bringing light and variation, almost like a spot light. Always in moderation though as too much variegation makes for a fussy chaotic design.
Full sun to light shade and needs to be kept out of strong winds. Happy on most soils but does like good drainage. You can give it a hard prune in early spring to give the best foliage.
