Acer palmatum ‘Osakazuki’

A hardy, deciduous shrub or small tree with an open and rounded habit to about 4m in height and spread. ‘Osakazuki’ has seven lobed green foliage in spring and summer, transforming into a blaze of fiery scarlet in autumn. Many believe they have the most intense, long lasting scarlet autumn colour of all the Japanese Maples. Ideal for the smaller garden, yet still capable of creating autumn drama in a large garden.

Best grown with their feet in the shade and head in the sun in well drained, moist, neutral to acidic soil, protected from cold and drying winds. Prune lightly for health but never when the sap is rising in the spring. 'By cuttings/grafted'.
