Acer shirasawanum 'Jordan'

Acer shirasawanum 'Jordan' is a lovely slow growing maple with bright orange-yellow spring leaves which turn lime green in the summer. The autumn colour is also normally spectacular with the leaves turning bright orange and red before they fall.

This is an excellent standalone plant for nearly any garden and can also be grown in a large container or pot (if well looked after). Not for instant gratification as usually very slow growing!
