Elegant leaves, spectacular colours 🍁

This week, we are putting Acer palmatum in the spotlight.
There is a reason Japanese maples remain so popular.

Their delicate foliage, elegant growth and changing colours give them something different in every season. Fresh green, deep wine-red, orange and fiery autumn colours – sometimes all on the same plant throughout the year.

At Hoogenraad, our assortment contains around 40 Acer palmatum product lines.

We offer grafted Acer palmatum in P14 and C2, as well as varieties produced from cuttings in P9.

And with so much choice, where do you start?

Here are three varieties worth a closer look.

A true Acer classic - Acer palmatum ‘Atropurpureum’

One of the best-known Japanese maples – and for good reason.

‘Atropurpureum’ develops into an upright shrub with characteristic wine-red foliage. As autumn arrives, the leaves change again and create a spectacular seasonal display.

Strong, very winter hardy and a reliable classic that has earned its place in the assortment year after year.

Deep red with an elegant shape - Acer palmatum ‘Royal Garnet’

Looking for something with a little more drama?

‘Royal Garnet’ has deeply cut, garnet-red foliage combined with a broad and elegantly arching growth habit.

In autumn, the colour changes towards striking orange-red shades. Its rich foliage colour makes it a real eye-catcher, both in a garden and as a solitary plant.

Fine foliage, big autumn colour

Fine foliage, big autumn colour - Acer palmatum ‘Emerald Lace’

‘Emerald Lace’ shows a completely different side of Acer palmatum.

It is a finely cut dissectum with an elegant, weeping habit. During the season, the fresh green foliage gives it a light appearance – but autumn is when the real show begins.

The leaves change through shades of purple, red, orange and yellow.

‘Emerald Lace’ also grows relatively quickly and can develop into a beautiful solitary specimen.

Around 40 product lines. Plenty of choice. 🍁

Whether you are looking for compact growth, striking red foliage, fine dissected leaves or spectacular autumn colour, our Acer palmatum assortment offers plenty of possibilities for the coming season.
