200mm Japanese Maple - Acer palmatum

Japanese maples (Acer palmatum) are among the world's most admired ornamental trees, valued for their elegance, versatility and year-round beauty. With hundreds of cultivars available, they offer an incredible range of leaf shapes, colours and growth habits, making them suitable for almost any garden style. From vibrant greens and rich burgundies to striking variegated foliage, Japanese maples provide ever-changing seasonal interest that culminates in spectacular autumn displays of brilliant red, orange and gold. Their naturally graceful form makes them ideal as feature trees, while compact varieties are perfect for courtyards, patios, containers and small gardens. Larger cultivars create beautiful shade and structure, and groups of Japanese maples can be planted together to create breathtaking woodland-style landscapes. Their fine branching habit also provides striking winter interest once the leaves have fallen. Japanese maples thrive in well-drained soils and sheltered positions, rewarding gardeners with decades of beauty when given the right conditions. They pair exceptionally well with rocks, water features, ornamental grasses and evergreen shrubs, making them a favourite choice for both traditional Japanese gardens and contemporary landscape designs. Beyond their ornamental appeal, Japanese maples add value to outdoor spaces by creating focal points, enhancing property aesthetics and providing a peaceful, calming atmosphere. Whether planted as a single specimen or in mass plantings, they are a timeless investment that delivers beauty and character throughout every season.
