Japanese Maple Tree
Acer palmatum 'Ueno Yama'
- Japanese maple trees add incredible visual depth wherever they're planted, thanks to their array of spectacular seasonal colour
- 'Ueno Yama' is a wonderful variety, boasting deeply-lobed orange foliage in the spring, becoming greener in summer and then, finally, adopting golden and fiery red shades in autumn
- Perfect for smaller gardens, this tree will add incredible year-round interest, not only because of its spectrum of colours, but also the architectural texture added by the framework of bare branches in winter
- Don't have much space? Not to worry, you can also grow this acer in a large patio pot!
