Acer palmatum ‘Deshojo’
Japanese Acer. A deciduous tree with shrimp pink leaves in the spring, turning to green during the summer months and then finally to scarlet in the autumn. Slowly will get to approximately 6m.
Position in sun or light shade on lime free soil (reasonably well drained). Avoid strong winds. Produced by cuttings.
N.B. When clipping several plants with the same tool, have a bucket containing a 5% bleach solution and swish your blades around for 30 seconds between plants to sterilise them. This will help avoid the chance of cross contamination of disease.
As with all woody plants, plant high, exposing as much of the taper at the base of the trunk as possible. Allowing soil to accumulate round the base of a tree can be fatal. Keep very well watered when first planted.
