Product description
Acer 'Prinz Handjéry' is a small, slow-growing sycamore tree that produces a round canopy of dense, palmate foliage. The tree provides multi-season interest, due to the foliage that emerges as a bright pink colour, before maturing to a yellow-green and then to green. Alongside the foliage, this tree produces clusters of yellow flowers in Spring, followed by red fruits in Autumn.
A low maintenance, slow growing tree. This plant can be grown in a position of full sun or partial shade in any moist and well-drained soil. A wonderful specimen plant for any type of garden.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may, therefore, differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. This plant will be supplied in a grower’s pot. Plants may be pruned back, lower than stated heights, to encourage new growth.

Instructions
Top Tip
Prune Acer trees lightly during winter or early spring, removing any dead or damaged branches to maintain their shape. Avoid heavy pruning, as this can spoil their natural form. Protect young trees from harsh winds, which can damage delicate leaves, especially on Japanese varieties. Adding an organic fertiliser in spring will encourage healthy growth and vibrant foliage.
How to Water
Water your Acer deeply after planting and continue to water regularly during its first growing season to establish strong roots. Mature Acer trees prefer consistent moisture but are sensitive to waterlogging. Water during dry spells, especially in summer, ensuring the soil is evenly moist but not soggy. Using rainwater is ideal, as it prevents any buildup of salts that can occur with tap water.
How to Plant
To plant an Acer tree, select a sheltered spot with partial shade and moist, well-draining, slightly acidic soil. Dig a hole twice the width and the same depth as the root ball, ensuring the root collar remains level with the surrounding soil. Soak the root ball in water before planting to reduce transplant shock. Backfill the hole with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly. Apply a mulch layer to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature, keeping it clear of the tree trunk.
