Japanese Maple, Little Princess

Description

Slow growing, sturdy, outstanding variety with dense, compact habit with lobed leaves emerging in spring with a claret coloured flush then fading in summer to a brilliant fresh green tipped with red, finally turning yellow and red come autumn before falling. Ideal for small gardens and a fantastic variety for containers or for training as a bonsai. The leaf colour is best if planted in partial shade, but it is tolerant of full sun, however it should be sheltered from drying winds. Height 1m (39ins), spread 1m (39ins).
