Description

  • A small and slender tree perfect for growing in pots
  • Reaches a size of only 3 x 1m, making it ideal for smaller gardens
  • Foliage starts off purple, then develops a vibrant green centre before changing to fiery reds and oranges in autumn
  • Renowned for its autumn display, this compact tree provides year-round interest
  • Flowers from late winter to early spring
  • Adds vertical interest to any display - this tree looks fabulous in pots by the front door!
  • Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE

Best plants you will ever get online

I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I canโ€™t wait to order again, price is good as well.

Satisfied customer

Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. Itโ€™s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
