Acer palmatum x circinatum ‘Red Wings’

A beautifully rounded upright tree with quite large leaves. The new foliage emerges a reddy colour, maturing to red-edged green, before the classic autumnal colours evoke. The greeny red spring flowers are followed by strikingly red winged fruits.

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