Description

A popular and reliable small garden tree, Acer pseudoplatanus 'Brilliantissimum' has spectacular shrimp-pink leaves when they emerge in spring. This vivid pink leaf colour holds for several weeks before the leaves gradually fade back to creamy green in mid to late summer. T

he slow rate of growth makes this maple suitable for growing in smaller gardens or even very large containers.
