Japanese Maple Acer Jerre Schwartz Compact Colour Changing baby tree 3L pot

Jerre Schwartz' is wonderful, dwarf Japanese Maple has distinctive, deeply lobed leaves that emerge a bright pink red, before turning darker maroon then green as the leaf matures. Fresh growth in the red shades adds interest through the growing season before the leaves turn dark red in the autumn. This is a small variety reaching just 1.5 metres after 10 years and is a good choice for the smaller garden, a specimen for a pot or to add variety to your Japanese maple collection. Will grow in most fertile, free draining soils in gentle sun or part shade sheltered from strong winds.

The finely dissected foliage of this compact Japanese maple emerges each spring with a distinct pink flush, before becoming bronze-green and then green.

Grow in moist but well-drained, acid or neutral soil. Leaf colour is best in part shade, although full sun is tolerated. Leaf scorch can by caused by dry soil or excessive exposure to frost, sun, or wind when leaves are young.

'Jerre Schwartz' is a compact, upright, deciduous shrub or small tree with toothed, deeply lobed, mid-dark green leaves, flushed pink and then bronze-green in spring, turning red in autumn. Insignificant flowers in spring followed by winged, red seed pods.

In late summer red winged fruits develop and then in autumn, the leaves change colour again, this time to a vibrant red before they fall. 'Jerre Schwartz' has an upright habit, and will look great in a large pot on the patio, or use it as a specimen in the border or lawn.

Supplied in approx 3 litre containers.
