Product Description
The Acer palmatum Dissectum is a beautiful mound-forming Maple which provides a delicate specimen in the border, or an attractive container shrub on the patio. It boasts an abundance of spring green, finely cut leaves with deeply incised lobes, giving a wispy, feathery look. The foliage turns red/gold in autumn. If you have a rockery garden, Acer palmatum Dissectum is perfect for bringing a tranquil, oriental feel, and is happiest when planted in a sheltered, partially shaded spot. This low-growing umbrella Maple grows to a height of 1.2-1.5m, with a spread of 2m. 20-25 cm plants supplied in a 2 litre pot.

Growing at a glance…
Acers should be watered on a regular basis, which will be even more important in hot Summers. Although its not necessary, you can prune back or cut dead wood in Spring. Plant in fertile, well drained and moist soil. Acer shrubs prefer sunny or partial shaded areas, and can also be grown in pots. If growing in pots make sure that the pot is large enough to support the shrub and that it also has plenty of drainageholes. Use John Innes compost if planting in pots.
