Description

A handsome Acer which is ideal for people that would love the autumn colour of a Japanese Maple in their garden, but live in an area that is too cold or exposed to grow them successfully. A rare and very hardy plant with brilliant yellow, red and orange autumn colours.

Acer pseudosieboldianum is native to Korea and is happy at temperatures as low as minus 25 degrees centigrade. One of the very best Acers for autumn colour!
