Acer pal. Moss Gold 50 cm st. Deco 15L.

Acer palmatum 'Moss Gold' is a refined Japanese maple, forming a graceful, small deciduous tree ideal for containers or smaller gardens. Grow in a sheltered position with sun or light shade, in moist but well-drained, humus-rich, preferably slightly acidic soil. With a naturally steady growth rate and elegant branching, it develops into a beautiful feature plant bringing structure and seasonal interest.

This is a standard tree with a clear stem and a shaped crown above. The tree was grown up to this stem height and then pruned to stop the trunk growing taller. The clear stem will remain at the height you receive it at, with future growth coming from the top of the tree.

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.
