Acer Palmatum: Bi-hoo

Although one of the smaller Japanese maples, Bi-hoo can still provide fantastic impact and colours in your garden. Its bright green/yellow lobed leaves appear in spring with a light pink flush. These pink colours fade into deep shades of yellow and orange in autumn. As a bonus once the leaves have fallen heading into winter they reveal bright golden yellow/orange stems. This tree therefore provides colour for gardens throughout all the seasons while maintaining a compact size. In general it likes a sheltered spot with partial or full sun.
