Acer pseudosieboldianum (Korean Maple) | 10 Seeds | £3.49

A rare and very hardy maple, forming an attractive, small tree offering intense autumn colours

Green finely-toothed leaves emerge in spring and throughout summer, followed by brilliant autumn colours, starting yellow and orange and turning intense scarlet and purples

Erect clusters of reddish-purple flowers in spring are followed by red, winged fruit

Size after 10 years is approx. 10 feet (3m) tall, with a spread of 8 feet. Stays much smaller within pots, especially as a bonsai. Eventual height within ground and outside pots / bonsai pots is 26 ft (8m)

Fully frost hardy to -25ºC (-13ºF). Protect very young plants and seedlings from hard frosts initially

The trees are easy to keep small (if desired) with pruning

Makes an excellent bonsai tree as the roots are very shallow and it is easily dwarfed

Please note: full germination instructions are printed on each pack
