Overview
Acer palmatum 'Garnet' is an exquisite deciduous ornamental tree admired for its deeply divided, rich burgundy foliage and naturally graceful cascading habit. Providing wonderful interest from spring through autumn, the finely textured leaves retain their striking coloration before transitioning to brilliant red tones in the autumn. Once the leaves fall, the bare branching framework adds subtle winter character to the garden. Supplied as a 15L potted plant at approximately 125cm in height, this specimen makes an exceptional focal point for sheltered borders, small gardens, and large containers.
