Acer palm. Redwine / 3 Ltr pot

Acer palmatum is a graceful, deciduous Japanese maple valued for its elegant branching and finely textured foliage, bringing refined structure and seasonal colour to gardens and containers. Best grown in a sheltered spot with sun or light shade, it prefers a fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil. Protect from cold, drying winds and the strongest midday sun to avoid leaf scorch, especially in pots. Minimal pruning is needed beyond light shaping in late winter; consistent moisture through the growing season helps maintain healthy growth and vibrant foliage. An excellent choice for courtyard, woodland and Japanese-inspired plantings, where its form and foliage provide year-round interest and striking autumn colour.

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.
