Description
Acer palmatum atropurpureum is an attractive small tree that thrives best on fertile, free draining soils in sheltered positions away from sharp winds and burning sun.
It has stunning, deeply cut dark purple foliage in spring that turns to crimson in the autumn before leaf fall, hence its common name Purple Japanese Maple. The dark leaved trees provide wonderful contrast in a garden and this beautiful tree makes an idea specimen in a mixed planting theme. Mature height: 3-7m
