About this plant

Atropurpureum Japanese maple has finely shaped red-purple leaves and an elegant layered outline.

Fine branches form a graceful, spreading canopy; the leaf display changes through the seasons before the tree reveals its winter outline.

Best used for

Use as a focal plant in a sheltered garden, courtyard or large planter.

Give the plant enough space and light to show its natural form.

Growth & mature size

Growth per year 15–30 cm per year Slow growth
Expected mature size 3–5 m high / 3–5 m wide

Expect around 15–30 cm of new growth per year after establishment in good conditions. At maturity it typically reaches 3–5 m in height and 3–5 m in width. Shelter from wind and adequate moisture help its foliage and fine branches develop.

How to care

Plant in humus-rich, well-drained soil in a sheltered place away from strong drying wind and hot afternoon sun. Keep the soil evenly moist during establishment and water again whenever the upper soil dries. Top-dress with mature compost once a year in spring, keeping it clear of the stems. Prune minimally, removing damaged or awkward branches only when necessary.

What you will receive

You will receive a healthy container plant in the selected size. The plant is prepared for delivery and supplied ready for planting.

Natural variation in shape, branching, leaf density and seasonal appearance is normal. Plants may look different depending on the time of year.
