Acer palmatum ‘Atropurpureum’ | Japanese Maple Tree

Originally found in parts of Asia and Russia, this Japanese Maple is characterised by its burgundy, deeply lobed leaves which come autumn, mature to a scarlet shade that is impossible to miss! What makes this variety even more fascinating is that its foliage will change colour depending on the level of light it receives. In brighter locations, the foliage will become a richer shade of purple, while lower light areas result in greener-looking leaves. As such, you can appreciate colourful display from spring to winter that is unique to your garden’s aspect. Acer palmatum is slower-growing than other popular trees, so importantly makes an ideal choice for those seeking a more manageable addition to their garden.
