Fully Mature Specimen | Laceleaf Red Foliage | Free UK Delivery
Enhance your garden instantly with this exceptional mature Acer palmatum ‘Garnet’, one of the most admired Japanese maple cultivars. This specimen is a true statement tree — standing at approximately 175 cm tall with a cascading canopy over 180 cm wide, already fully shaped into its signature weeping dome. Its finely cut, garnet-red leaves add architectural texture and year-round beauty, turning fiery crimson in autumn.
This tree is professionally grown and containerised — ready for planting in your landscape or large decorative planter. Whether you're designing a Japanese garden, upgrading a contemporary border, or adding a feature to a courtyard, this tree delivers immediate and lasting impact.

Planting & Aftercare
Plant in a sheltered position away from strong wind. Partial shade is ideal to preserve leaf colour and avoid scorching, especially in southern UK locations. Use loam-based or ericaceous compost with good drainage. Water regularly in dry spells, particularly in pots. Apply a slow-release fertiliser in early spring. No pruning is needed unless removing dead or damaged wood in winter.
FAQs
Q: Will this tree lose its leaves?
Yes, this is a deciduous Japanese maple. Expect leaf fall in autumn and fresh regrowth in spring.
Q: Can it stay in a pot?
Yes, this tree thrives in large pots (at least 60–80 litres). Choose a container with good drainage and use ericaceous or loam-based compost.
Q: How fast will it grow?
Very slowly. This specimen is already around 8–10 years old and may grow just 10–15 cm per year. It's a long-term feature tree.
Q: Can I plant it in full sun?
Yes, in most parts of the UK. In warmer southern regions, light afternoon shade is recommended.
