Description
Acer palmatum ‘Moonrise’ makes an excellent feature plant which can be grown in garden borders and patio container. Boosting vibrant foliage that provides dramatic autumn colour. Turning from pale green in summer to rich red and cerise in the autumn months. Also produces red winged seedpods that delightfully compliment the foliage. Pot up acer plants and grow them on in cool frost free conditions until large enough to plant outside in their final positions. When plants are well grown, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions before transplanting them in borders outdoors. Grow acer trees in any moist, fertile, well drained soil in sun or dappled shade, with shelter from strong winds which can scorch the finely cut leaves. Alternatively grow acers in large containers using a soil based compost such as John Innes No.3.Water regularly throughout the growing season until acer trees are well established. Protect plants from strong winds. Acers require little pruning other than to maintain their shape. Lightly trim stems if necessary from late autumn to midwinter.Product Specifications:Position in: full sun or semi shadeHeight: Up to 200cmSpread: Up to 200cmSupplied as 1 x 13cm PotImages shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
