## Features

- JAPANESE MAPLE TREE: Add a touch of year-round colour to your garden with the Japanese Maple Acer garden plant, also known as the Snakebark Maple. This striking ornamental tree is known for its vivid red stems in winter and stunning foliage that shifts from pink-tinted leaves in spring to golden-yellow in autumn. Supplied as an established young tree in a 1.5L pot, ready to plant or pot up.
- COLOURFUL FOLIAGE: Renowned for its stunning seasonal colours, this outdoor plant features bright red stems and foliage that evolves beautifully throughout the year. New leaves emerge with a pink hue and develop a distinctive green-veined centre before turning a brilliant golden-yellow in autumn. With its spectacular leaf shapes, colours, and textures, this tree is one of the most eye-catching of all snakebark maple varieties.
- SIMPLE TO GROWN AND MANTAIN: Hardy and low-maintenance, this Japanese Acer Tree is an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners, offering beauty with minimal effort. Plant it in well-drained, slightly acidic soil for best results, although it is adaptable and will perform well in most garden conditions.
- CARE INFORMATION: This plant is exceptionally easy to care for. It prefers a sheltered spot in partial shade and will flourish in slightly acidic, moisture-retentive soil. To protect potted plants during winter, wrap containers with bubble wrap to insulate the roots.
- ABOUT US: At YouGarden, we believe that gardening is for everyone.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how can i get a refund for the mjapanese maple i cancelled the item the item was cancelled**
A: Can’t say ,depends how you paid for it and reasons for cancelling ,talk to the seller

**Q: Can it be kept indoors?**
A: Grows quite big so I wouldn't, weeping figs are nicer for indoors.

**Q: will it survive in chalky soil how tall does it grow**
A: Acers prefer acid or ericaceous soils. If you have very chalky soil add plenty of organic matter to the planting area or failing that plant in a pot.

**Q: How quickly and how large does it grow?**
A: It's not meant to grow much - the roots have been cut to prevent this and the plant is in a tiny pot to prevent the roots growing.  You also have to cut back any excess root to keep it small - they are meant to be miniature trees.  Obe piece of advice I would give is to change the soil regularly - there is room for so little soil in the pot tht it gets "dead" (all the nutrients get used by the tree) very quickly.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All colours at once
*by B***N on 19 June 2024*

This acer has grown a lot since I planted it. It has leaves of all colours on it at once. I hope it grows well as I have planted it in memory of my husband who died on 11th May.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chickens liked it
*by G***T on 9 August 2021*

The box was a bit battered when it arrived, but sapling hadn’t suffered.Planted late at night and because it was quite tall it wasn’t as sturdy as I’d have liked.Chickens escaped the henitentiary while I was at work the following day and stripped it up to jumping height like a hoard of feathery locusts.Sapling now safe behind bars from marauding hens so I’m hoping it will thicken up a lot before I release it again

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Only new growth is orange, but still lovely
*by K***R on 4 May 2025*

Decent size for the price. The plant has grown 6 inches since receiving it on mother's day. Haven't put it in the garden yet, but it is outside in its original pot.
