Acer palmatum Atropurpureum

Acer palmatum Atropurpureum Details

Acer palmatum Atropurpureum is a lovely Japanese Maple featuring a rich display of delicate, deep purple foliage. As autumn progresses the colour lightens and orange tones develop before the leaves eventually fall. It grows with a broad and rounded shape to about 5 m tall and the same wide though can be contained with trimming. Best performance with this tree is achieved when it is planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of frosts, cool climates, some wind, and will grow on a range of soil types, but will struggle at the extremes of wet and dry. Acer palmatum Atropurpureum is a magnificent specimen that is perfect for mixed plantings, growing as a specimen, or for using anywhere the spectacular colour can be enjoyed.
