Cascade Tree
Acer palmatum
As the name suggests, this Japanese Maple has delicately arching branches that create cascades of gorgeous leaves. The beautiful leaves are a copper red when they emerge, and become green in the summer. During the autumn they burst into colour again in reds and oranges, with the tree’s branches also joining in and turning red.
A small tree, it grows to about 10′ high and is bushy, with a spread of about 8′ wide. Keep it in full sun or partial shade, making sure the soil is well drained.
