Acer palmatum 'Phoenix'Japanese Maple

Acer palmatum ‘Phoenix’ delivers a dramatic series of colour transitions through the growing season. It makes a stunning statement in spring, when the leaves emerge a brilliant pink with contrasting yellow-green veins. As the season progresses, the yellow colour expands towards the leaf margins, eventually transforming to shiny green with bronze edges. Another transformation arrives in the autumn, when the foliage blazes orange, red and yellow.

Acer palmatum ‘Phoenix’ has an upright habit with deeply divided, small to medium foliage carried on bright red leaf stalks. This slow growing tree is ideal for providing multiple seasons of interest in small gardens and containers. Height: 6m (20ft). Spread: 3m (10ft).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
