Acer Shirasawanum Jordan | 3 Litre Pot

Gorgeous bright lime-green leaves. Position: partial shade Soil: fertile, moisture-retentive, well-drained neutral to acid soil Rate of growth: slow-growing Flowering period: April to May Hardiness: fully hardy Clusters of tiny, red-purple spring flowers and vivid, young, lime-green leaves turning orange and red in autumn. This rounded, golden-leafed Japanese maple provides an excellent focal point for a small garden. The striking foliage is best in partial or dappled shade, protected from cold, drying winds and excessive sun. Garden care: Add a top-dressing of a multi-purpose fertiliser around the base of the plant in late spring. No routine pruning is required. Remove any dead, damaged or crossing branches in April when the plant is in full growth.
