Rare Mature Specimen | Elegant Red Laceleaf Foliage | Free UK Delivery

This exceptional Acer palmatum ‘Garnet’ is a rare tall-form specimen, standing at approximately 190–200 cm (6.2–6.5 ft) with a strong central frame and a full, finely layered canopy of lace-like leaves. Its upright elegance and generous height make it an ideal focal point for larger gardens, courtyards, or landscaped entrances.

This tree combines the best of both forms: a mature height not often seen in Garnet maples, with the graceful weeping habit and rich garnet-red dissected foliage that changes to fiery crimson in autumn.

Unlike smaller potted Acers, this tree is already shaped, established, and ready to make an immediate impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this tree lose its leaves in winter?
Yes, ‘Garnet’ is a deciduous tree. It will regrow fresh foliage each spring.

Q: Can I plant it in a pot?
Yes – use a minimum 80L container with good drainage and place in a sheltered position.

Q: How rare is this height?
Very rare. Garnet is typically dome-shaped and low-growing. At over 6 ft, this is a highly unusual size, shaped over many years.

Q: How fast will it grow?
Very slowly. This tree is already near its mature height. You can expect it to remain compact with minimal change year to year.
