Acer dissectum Garnet / Japanese Maple

Description

This Acer  dissectum ‘Garnet’ is a pretty small tree that has feathery, heavily dissected foliage that resembles the colour of a garnet stone throughout the spring and summer. It holds its colour well compared to other Japanese Maples, before turning shades of scarlet for a striking display in Autumn.

Ideal for small gardens,  ‘Garnet’ prefers slightly moist, well-drained acidic soil although lime can also be tolerated. This wonderful red Japanese Maple is suited to a sheltered position in dappled shade where it will create a stunning focal point or backdrop.
