General Information Can Japanese maple trees grow in the UK? Yes, all Acer trees from Palm and Olive are carefully selected for UK gardens. Hardy varieties like Acer palmatum ‘Garnet’ and ‘Sango Kaku’ thrive in British climates, providing year-round beauty with minimal care. What makes an Acer tree suitable for the UK? Our Japanese maples are grown to handle British weather, including frost and damp winters. They’re slow-growing, wind-tolerant once established, and perfect for both open ground and containers. Are your Acer trees sustainably sourced? Yes, at Palm and Olive we work with responsible growers to supply nursery-raised Acer trees that support long-term environmental health and UK garden biodiversity. Types of Acer Trees What’s special about Acer palmatum ‘Garnet’? This classic laceleaf Japanese maple has finely cut, rich red foliage and a weeping dome form. Mature sizes (6–7 ft) bring sculptural elegance to any garden with fiery autumn colour. Why choose Acer ‘Sango Kaku’ (Coral Bark Maple)? ‘Sango Kaku’ is famous for its coral-pink winter bark, giving your garden bright structure when other trees are bare. Its green summer leaves turn golden-yellow in autumn for full seasonal contrast. What makes ‘Twombly’s Red Sentinel’ unique? This is the only upright columnar red Japanese maple, perfect for narrow borders or flanking entrances. Its vertical growth habit adds height without taking up space. Choosing the Right Acer Tree Which Acer tree is best for small gardens? Compact options like Acer ‘Shaina’ or smaller Garnet specimens (140–150 cm) are ideal for patios and containers. They offer impact without overwhelming your space. Can Acer trees grow in pots? Absolutely. Most varieties—including Garnet, Sango Kaku, and Shaina—thrive in pots (45–100L), especially when given good drainage and partial shade. Which Acer tree should I choose for a large garden? Larger specimens like the 8 ft Garnet or tall-form Sango Kaku (260 cm) make striking feature trees, suitable for lawns, gravel beds, or landscape borders. Care and Maintenance How do I care for my Acer tree in UK winters? Japanese maples are deciduous and fully hardy. No wrapping is needed, but ensure soil drains well to prevent root rot. Mulch the base for insulation if planting in open ground. How often should I water my Acer tree? Water regularly during dry spells, especially in the first year. For container-grown Acers, keep soil moist but never soggy. Do Acer trees need pruning? Minimal pruning is needed. Simply remove dead or crossing branches in winter. Most Acers keep their natural shape without intervention. Purchasing and Delivery How quickly do you deliver Acer trees?
