Description

A slow-growing beauty with unique fan-shaped foliage. Starting pale orange in spring, the leaves transition to a summertime glow of lime green, before completing their journey as an autumnal reddish orange in fall.

Small crimson flowers appear in summer as the tree matures, contrasting beautifully with the shade of the leaves at the time.

Thriving in more-or-less any garden, this Acer is easy to grow and very hardy, even in the coldest parts of the UK. Suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience, you can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come.

With a bushy and spreading habit, this Japanese Maple reaches a neat 4m by 4m across 20 years, thriving in moist, but well-drained soil in dappled shade. It will however tolerate full sun when kept regularly watered.

Give this Acer away as a present - we've already done the wrapping for you! Delivered wrapped in a brown hessian bag with a green fabric bow.

Supplied as a 3L potted and gift wrapped plant, approximately 40-50cm tall, ready to plant or gift.

Top Tips
Leaf colour is best in partial shade, although full sun can be tolerated. Leaf scorch can be caused by lack of soil moisture or excessive exposure.
Care Information

Planting Advice for your Acer shirasawanum 'Jordan':

  • If your soil is slightly acidic, then you have the perfect conditions to grow Japanese maples - however do not worry if you have not as most can be grown in other soils as long as they are not wet, dry or very alkaline.
  • If growing in a pot, use a 50/50 mix of ericaceous and multipurpose compost if you can - although again don't worry overly about this.
  • If planting in the garden, prepare a wide hole and loosen the soil with a fork, incorporating organic matter as needed to improve moisture retention and condition.
  • Plant your Acer so that the top of the root ball is just slightly below ground level.
  • Fill the planting hole with soil and heel well in. Water well.

Aftercare advice:

  • Leaf colour is best in partial shade, although full sun can be tolerated as long as the plant is well watered.
  • Avoid exposed places as leaves can suffer with windburn (scorch), especially if the plant is dry.
  • Allow your Japanese Maple to get used to a whole day in the sun by starting it off in the shade, then standing it in its final sunny spot (in pot or in the garden soil) for one hour longer every day for a week.
  • Water regularly and deeply.
  • Feed with our specialist Acer feed.
  • Mulch every couple of years with well-rotted garden compost or well-rotted manure or leaf mould.

Pruning advice:

  • Acers generally do not need pruning, just remove any branches that are dead or damaged.
