Acer tatarica ssp ginnala

One of our favourite maples, Acer ginnala is native to central China and Japan and has bright green leaves which turn glorious shades of orange and crimson in autumn before falling. The autumn colour of Acer ginnala is particularly eye-catching when several are planted together as a thicket or to act as a screen.

Acer ginnala is a hardy, robust small tree and an excellent choice of tree for autumn colour in a position which would be to exposed for the more commonly planted Acer palmatum (Japanese Maple)
