The Patio Acer Tree Gift
- Acers are, without a shadow of a doubt, among the most refined, elegant and graceful ornamental trees, and this gently-weeping patio tree epitomises those sentiments absolutely.
- That undeniable elegance makes this tree perfect for more muted gifting occasions, like memorials, for instance, but it can just as easily be used for more celebratory events like retirements or weddings.
- This acer holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit, which is conferred upon those plants shown to perform particularly well in British gardens.
- Your acer tree will be sent out wrapped in a lovely hessian sheet, tied with a luxury bow, and packaged in a premium box complete with instructional care card.
- For best leaf colour, plant your acer in partial shade. Don't worry, though, it'll still look amazing in full sun!

Will this grow in my garden?
Can I grow this in a pot?
Absolutely, the Patio Acer thrives in a container and its compact size makes it an ideal choice for a potted specimen on a terrace or balcony.
How big does it get?
The Patio Acer is a compact variety that usually reaches a maximum height and spread of 1.5 to 2 metres.
How much sunlight does this need?
The Patio Acer performs best in dappled shade or partial shade, as intense midday sun can scorch its delicate leaves.
What kind of soil does this plant prefer?
The Patio Acer prefers a moist but well-drained soil that is slightly acidic, ideally enriched with plenty of organic matter.
How much watering does this plant need?
The Patio Acer needs frequent watering to keep the soil evenly moist, particularly during hot weather, applying around 5 to 10 litres every few days.
Will this plant need pruning?
The Patio Acer needs very little pruning, though you can carefully remove any dead or damaged wood during its dormant period in winter.
How hardy is this plant?
The Japanese maple carries an RHS hardiness rating of H6, tolerating temperatures down to -15°C. It is hardy across the UK, but its delicate foliage requires shelter from cold, drying winds and late spring frosts.

Meet Mike's trusted specialists
Start with a touch of continental sun
Over 99% of our plants are grown in the UK, but where that’s not possible, Mike sources the best specialist growers in Europe for the job. Think citrus warmed by Sicilian sun, topiary trained by Dutch masters, almonds nourished in the Dordogne and bamboo bathed in Tuscan heat. Our handpicked growers nurture these plants to maturity before handing over to our team in the Cotswolds, to toughen them up for UK gardens.
