Acer palmatum 'Osakazuki'

(Japanese Maple) Acer palmatum 'Osakazuki' is one of our favourite maples and grows to be a stunning large shrub or small tree with stunning bright red and orange autumn colour.

The lush dark green summer leaves turn some of the best shades of bright red and orange of any maple in autumn before falling.
