Acer palmatum 'Atropurpureum' | Japanese Maple Deciduous Potted Trees for Small Gardens | Premium Bushy Plant Shrub Tree in Pot (80-100cm (Incl. Pot))

Only arrived yesterday.but it looks healthy.and was reasonably priced.

Purchased in October, 2022. Delivery was one day early, product arrived undamaged. I expected little to no foliage, given the deciduous nature of the tree. Repotted in the following days with ericaceous compost (japanese maples do best in acidic soil). Kept it outside during the winter and it did just fine. In April, when the buds started to open, I fertilized it with Vitax Acer Feed (organic) - best time to fertilize is at the start of the growing season. The young leaves are very tender and the tree needs to be in a sheltered position. If it gets cold (<5 C°), bring the tree inside, as the leaves might get damaged otherwise. The deep red colour of the foliage is only achieved if the tree is in a sunny position (leaves remain green otherwise). Water by a small amount everytime the top soil layer gets dry (this will prevent leaves with dried tips). With adequate care, the tree will reward you with its beauty!

Exceedingly disappointing, very small only 3-4 inches high and extremely weedy.I think it will die.

I've planted it in a big pot so I'll just wait and see if it's easy to grow as stipulated in your site.

I have only recently received the plant. It was very scrawny, with one bud and no leaves. I have planted it out in the hope that it will grow into something wonderful but as it is certainly off to a bad start I have not rated it highly

Am very pleased with young plant. Arrived very well packed, and is looking very healthy.

I thought that the Japanese acer would compliment our garden. But we followed growing information given and acer looks terrible.

Arrived in a healthy, undamaged condition, earlier than expected. Good size. Picture shows leaf damage. This was, I think, because I potted it in general purpose compost from the supermarket. I later saw in the small print on the label that it was unsuitable for lime hating plants. Google told me acers fall into that category so I repotted it in good quality ericacious compost (Miracle Gro, purchased from Amazon a few days ago), and it seems to be happy enough, despite 30° heat and sun. I will repot it in a larger container or direct into soil next year, to allow it to settle down and grow a little.
