ACER palmatum 'Skeeter's Broom'
Short description
Japanese Maple 'Skeeter's Broom'. A red leaved Japanese maple with a neat deeply divided, palmate lobed foliage which is maroon red through spring and summer turning bright red in autumn. Multi-stemmed with compact and upright habit. Suited as with most Japanese Acers for specimen use, small gardens, mixed borders or container growing. For best colour and to avoid leaf scorch, Japanese Acers prefer dappled shade in a sheltered spot protected from full sun, frost and cold winds. Better on acid / neutral soils for best leaf colours. Must be well drained as dislikes winter wet - loamy sand would be ideal.ACER palmatum 'Skeeter's Broom'
