Product description

Beni-Maiko is an extremely popular deciduous garden acer, renowned for it's bright foliage throughout spring and autumn. Starting as it means to go on, this variety initally develops brightly coloured pinkish-red lobed leaves during spring, before being joined by a touch of green during the summer. As we move into autumn, the brightness of the foliage dims ever so slightly, producing vibrant bursts of orange and red colours befitting of the time of year.

This japanese maple can be planted in most types of soil, so long as it is moist but well-drained, it prefers a slightly shaded position in the garden but due to it's hardy nature it can tolerate full sun. Ideal as a specimen tree for a small space, beni-maiko can go it alone, or provide a fantastic bit of colour among a group of different varieties in the garden. We would like to remind customers that the images are for illustration purposes only. Due to the deciduous nature of this plant, your tree may arrive without leaves depending on the time of year.
