Acer palmatum 'Trompenburg'

(Japanese Maple) Very elegant Japanese maple, Acer palmatum 'Trompenburg' has rich, glossy-purple, very deeply cut leaves. The leaves are striking in appearance and notably convex in shape, even looking a little claw-like on occasion.

The leaves are brighter red in Spring, turning darker purple in summer before finally colouring up with shades of bright red and scarlet in autumn before falling.

A large branching shrub or eventually small tree which is ideal for a sunny garden position perhaps next to a path or often used area of the garden where the extraordinary leaves can be best appreciated.
