Acers

Acer or Maple trees are a firm favourite because of their distinctive leaf shapes and vibrant foliage that change colour through the seasons on many varieties. Colours include purple, red, orange, yellow, pink and green. We offer over 65 varieties of Acer tree, including many varieties of Japanese Maple, Norway Maple, Field Maple and some more unusual choices. 

Acer is the latin name for the genus, which comprises approximately 130 species and over 700 cultivars. As Acers often have attractive autumn foliage colour, many countries have leaf-watching traditions. The Japanese custom of watching Acer leaves change colour is called momijigari. The same tradition is called Danpung-Nori in Korea.

Did you know that these beauties boast a rich history dating back to the 7th century? With their intricately serrated leaves in shades ranging from lime green to deep maroon, Acers add a touch of sophistication and elegance to any landscape. Whether you're captivated by their all-season interest or by their spectacular fall colors, there's no denying the charm of these versatile small trees.
