Acer pal. Linearilobum 80-100 cm Deco 15L. bush

Acer palmatum 'Linearilobum' is a refined Japanese maple with very narrow, thread-like lobes that give an elegant, lacy texture. A compact, bushy, deciduous small tree, its fresh green foliage holds good colour through summer and develops rich red to orange tints in autumn. Grow in a sheltered spot with dappled light or morning sun, out of harsh afternoon sun and drying winds. Best in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil that is acidic to neutral; avoid chalk. Ideal for containers, courtyards and small gardens where its delicate outline provides graceful structure.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
