Acer palmatum ‘Winter Flame’
Acer palmatum 'Winter Flame' is a superb Coral Bark Maple for small gardens or planted in a container. It's very much like the well known Acer palmatum Sango Kaku but a smaller size, reaching just 3 x 2 metres in 20 years.
Pink tinged young shoots and leaves mature to the freshest lime green colour, then the foliage turns gold in autumn like a winter flame! Triggered by a cold spell, the stems and bark turn coral red throughout winter, making a stunning focal point.
Offering year round interest, Acer palmatum 'Winter Flame' makes the perfect feature tree for any sized garden if planted in a sheltered position avoiding heavy, waterlogged soils.
