Offering deep crimson leaves turning red, brown and orange in autumn and small clusters of red-tinged, yellow spring flowers, this handsome, large, round- headed tree makes a fabulous ornamental feature for a bigger garden. Fast-growing and pollution-tolerant, this Norway maple will thrive on almost any soil, including clay, and it's invaluable for screening unsightly buildings. - Garden care: Add a top-dressing of a multi-purpose fertiliser around the base of the plant in late spring. No routine pruning is required, just remove any dead, damaged or crossing branches in late autumn or winter when they are fully dormant.
