Reasonably slow growing Acer palmatum ‘Atropurpureum’ will reach a height of 3 – 4 metres with a similar spread.

Sold as bare rooted plants in winter and potted specimens all year round.

Care

Full sun with some protection from hot drying winds. A humus rich soil is best, in areas of clay soil improve the soil before planting, or consider building up the bed to ensure good drainage. New plants are best staked and watered in well with a liquid seaweed solution to encourage root growth. Mulch well and water through the first summers and then when conditions are dry.

Little other care is needed, damaged branches can be pruned back however do other pruning is generally required as Acer palmatum ‘Atropurpureum’ naturally creates a nice shape.
