Acer (Japanese Maple)

Acer, commonly known as Japanese Maple, are graceful deciduous trees and shrubs admired for their beautifully shaped leaves and stunning seasonal colour. From the fresh greens and reds of spring to the fiery oranges and crimsons of autumn, Acer trees bring year-round beauty and structure to any garden.

Perfect for adding texture, colour, and elegance, Acers thrive in moist, well-drained soil and partial shade, protected from strong winds. Their delicate, finely cut foliage adds softness to borders, patios, and Japanese-inspired gardens, while compact varieties are ideal for containers.

Popular varieties include Acer palmatum ‘Bloodgood’, ‘Orange Dream’, and Garnet’, all loved for their vibrant leaves and graceful habit. Whether you have a large garden or a small courtyard, Japanese Maples bring timeless charm, gentle movement, and extraordinary colour to every space.
