Acer
The Acer is a striking Japanese maple that provides vibrant colour for most of the year. In spring the large leaves are a purple red which develop to a crimson red in autumn. This tree can be planted in a pot or within borders. Its beautiful colour often makes them a star of your outside space.
Please note: The Acer can only be hand delivered within London and the Home Counties. Hand delivery will be within 7-10 working days.
