Acer Cappadocicum Rubrum | 12L Pot

Bright crimson foliage when young, later green, yellow in autumn. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, moisture-retentive, well-drained neutral to acid soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: April to May Hardiness: fully hardyTiny clusters of red flowers in spring are closely followed by the emergence of deeply lobed, dark green leaves, which turn brilliant red in autumn before being shed. This beautiful, round-headed, red maple makes an excellent ornamental feature in a large garden. Although the tree tolerates some lime, the best autumn leaf colour is achieved when it is grown in fertile, moisture-retentive, neutral to acid soil in full 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, just remove any dead, damaged or crossing branches in late autumn or winter when they are fully dormant.
