Acer palmatum Red Emperor is a striking Japanese maple featuring a neat, upright growth habit and large, glossy, five-lobed leaves with an intense deep wine-red colour.

In autumn, the foliage transforms into a vivid tapestry of orange, yellow and scarlet hues, with leaves that persist longer than many other cultivars, extending seasonal interest.

This hardy, deciduous tree thrives best when planted in soil enriched with compost and benefits from regular mulching and watering during establishment. An elegant specimen tree ideal for gardens seeking bold colour and structure.
