Offering deep crimson leaves throughout the summer, turning red, brown and orange in autumn and small clusters of red-tinged, yellow spring flowers, this handsome, large, round-headed deciduous tree makes a fabulous ornamental feature in a medium to large garden.
Fast-growing and pollution-tolerant, this RHS award-winning Norway maple will thrive on almost any soil, including clay, and is a superb, early-season source of nectar for pollinating insects in the spring.

Plant in a sheltered spot, away from cold winds. Dig in a hole twice the size of the root ball, add well-rotted organic matter and stake when young. Do not allow to dry out while it is getting established.
Protect young trees from winter frost with a 10cm (4in) mulch of organic matter, taking care to leave space around the trunk of the tree.
No routine pruning is required, just remove any dead, damaged or crossing branches in late autumn or winter when they are fully dormant. Avoid pruning at any other time of the year as acers tend to 'bleed' sap if cut while they are actively growing.
