Acer palmatum (Japanese Maple) 'Emerald Lace'
A truly elegant specimen, this Japanese Maple is celebrated for its delicate, lace-like foliage that emerges in a bright emerald green, creating a soft, cascading mound of colour throughout the growing season . Its deeply dissected leaves, borne on graceful, weeping branches, provide a refined texture that sets it apart from other maples . The real spectacle, however, arrives in autumn when the foliage transforms into a brilliant tapestry of golden yellow, vibrant orange, and deep burgundy red, offering a spectacular seasonal finale . This slow-growing tree is a superb choice for smaller gardens, where its compact, rounded habit and mature size of around 2.5 to 4 metres makes it an ideal focal point . It also thrives as a specimen in a large container on a patio, where its elegant form and changing colours can be admired up close .
