Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is this Japanese maple suitable for patios? Yes, its slow growth and compact size suit small gardens or containers.
  • How does its hardiness compare? Atropurpureum is more cold-tolerant than many acers.
  • How do I care for it year-round? Water regularly, protect from drying winds, and prune lightly after leaf fall.
  • Does it retain colour in sun or shade? Best foliage colour develops in partial shade, but tolerant of full sun with moist soil.
  • Is 50-60cm a good starter size? Yes, it establishes quickly for novice gardeners and immediate impact.

Common questions

Bare root plants are field-grown and lifted dormant — the cheapest way to plant a hedge. Pot grown plants have an established root system and can be planted year-round. Root ball plants are mature field-grown plants lifted with a soil ball for instant height.
Pot grown plants can go in the ground at any time of year. Bare root is supplied dormant from November to March, and root ball plants are lifted in that same window.
