Acer Palmatum: Firecracker 2 sizes

Acer Palmatum 'Firecracker' - Japanese Maple

A spectacular slow-growing Japanese maple renowned for its intensely coloured, deeply dissected foliage. Firecracker features stunning feathery leaves in a rich deep red-purple that create a dramatic focal point throughout the growing season, before transforming into vivid orange and red flames of colour in autumn.

Key Features:

• Deep red-purple feathery, dissected foliage
• Spectacular vivid orange-red autumn colour
• Slow-growing habit - ideal for small gardens
• Compact size: 2-4m height and spread
• Perfect for containers, borders, or as a specimen tree
• Hardy and low maintenance

Planting & Care:

Plant in moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Prefers a sheltered spot with partial to full sun, though some shade protection helps prevent leaf scorch in hot summers. Protect from strong winds and late frosts for best foliage quality.

An exceptional choice for adding year-round drama and colour to Japanese-style gardens, contemporary landscapes, or mixed borders. Its compact, slow-growing nature makes it particularly suitable for smaller gardens, courtyard spaces, and large patio containers.
