Acer palmatum Brown Sugar is a deciduous shrub that flaunts an array of colours across its leaves, changing throughout the year. In spring, you will see the foliage acquire a bronze-red tint, developing green, red-flushed colouring in summer, and finally turning a vivid red in autumn. The low-growing, winter hardy and compact Acer plant will require little to no maintenance with minimal pruning, and does well in a container if kept well watered. Choose your preferred pot size - 9cm, 3L or 10L - from the selection menu. This is always subject to stock availability. 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. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.
