Acer palmatum ‘Atropurpureum’

A classic and much-loved Japanese Maple, Atropurpureum is admired for its beautifully shaped leaves and rich burgundy-red foliage. New growth emerges deep red in spring, softens slightly through summer, then finishes the season with spectacular crimson tones in autumn. With its elegant branching structure and rounded form, this deciduous tree adds year-round beauty and refined character to gardens large and small.

Ideal as a feature tree, in mixed garden beds, or planted in a large decorative pot, Atropurpureum brings a sense of calm and sophistication to any landscape style—from contemporary to traditional Japanese gardens.

Tip: Give this maple bright, filtered light rather than harsh afternoon sun to maintain its leaf colour and prevent scorch. Plant in free-draining, organic-rich soil, and mulch well to keep roots cool and evenly moist.
