Acer palmatum 'Deshojo'

(Japanese Maple) In spring the young leaves of this classic maple cultivar emerge a vivid rich-red in colour. As summer progresses the older leaves darken to green but the young shoots are still tipped with burnished-red young leaves. The leaves finally turn shades of red and orange in autumn before falling.

A superb shrub which gives plenty of early foliage colour to a garden and is one of the most traditional plants to be grow as a bonsai. Grows well in a large container.

Pruned back to approx 30 - 40 cm tall in autumn to encourage branching when starting to grow in Spring
