& Acer Japanese Jewel palmatum Little Princess 3 Litre Potted Plant x 1

This compact and slow growing variety has superb seasonal colour all year round making this perfect for any garden. The leaves will emerge as a deep red colour and will turn to green throughout the summer months. In the autumn the leaves will turn to a stunning mix of orange and gold shades. Their compact size makes these perfect for growing in patio containers and placing in any part of the garden. Pot up acer plants and grow them on in cool conditions until large enough to plant outside in their final positions. Grow Acer palmatum trees in any moist, fertile, well-drained soil in sun or dappled shade. It is quite important to give plants shelter from strong winds which can scorch the leaves. Alternatively grow the Japanese Maple in large containers, using a soil based compost such as John Innes No.3. Water regularly throughout the growing season until acer trees are well established. Protect plants from strong winds. Acers require little pruning other than to maintain their shape. Lightly trim stems if necessary from late autumn to midwinter.
