ACER PALMATUM OSAKAZUKI - JAPANESE MAPLE
Osakuzuki is one of the oldest cultivars known. This Japanese Maple has green/bronze tones in summer but comes into its true glory in autumn when it produces vibrant crimson-orange seasonal colour. It is relatively quick growing and vigorous in its youth; however, when mature it is only the height of a small to medium tree. This compact tree has fantastic autumn colour and makes a wonderful accent for any landscape.
