Japanese Maple or Acer palmatum is a small deciduous tree of bushy habit with wonderfully decorative and colourful leaves, especially in autumn. This is a purple-leaved variety. Supplied in a 9 cm diameter pot, it is approximately 45 cm in height. It will grow to two metres or more and is very hardy. Dig a small hole, put the root-ball in and back-fill with soil then firm down and water well. You can buy one, two or three small trees with this order.
