You GardenAcer Palmatum 'Dissectum' 3L

Acer Palmatum 'Dissectum' - a real garden classic.

This delicate looking, lacy leaved Acer is a compact and easily managed small tree. It is ideal for smaller garden borders as a specimen or in large pots and works especially well in modern style gardens too in - a great urban garden plant.

The leaves are very fine and lace-like, emerging each spring a lovely lime green which deepens slightly over summer, then in autumn, it turns the most amazing orange, a wonderful finale to it's growing season - falling dormant to repeat it's virtuoso performance all over again year after year.

Reaching a maximum of 7-8ft (2.2M) in 10 years, its natural habit is slightly spreading, so has a large bonsai-like style of growth. Great for oriental-inspired themes. A real garden 'must-have' for low maintenance and style.

Height: 220cm Spread 250cm. Plant: Mar-Oct.
