Acer palmatum ‘Black Lace’ is a rare 'limited edition’ Japanese maple! This beautiful little Acer tree has deeply cut and lobed leaves. When the leaves first appear in spring, they are a striking reddish-purple, which gradually change to bronze-green in summer. In autumn, they change again, giving a spectacular display of rich purples and glowing oranges. So this Acer gives you something to look forward to almost every season. The Acer Black Lace will grow into a striking tree suitable for the medium-sized garden, growing up to 2 metres tall.

Care
Japanese Maples can best be planted from March to early October. In this period the soil is warm and the plants can root well. In a planter, this plant does not require special potting soil. Japanese Maples are strong plants but in a windy location the leaves can be damaged. Therefore, place the Acer in a sheltered place. The plant prefers a spot in semi-shade, preferably not too much direct sunlight. Too much direct sunlight can dry out the roots which can lead to leaf loss and can burn the leaves. A Japanese Maple is not evergreen, meaning it loses its leaves in winter. However, the plant is very hardy and will sprout again with beautiful new leaves starting in March.

Size
The plants have a height of 60-70cm upon delivery, measured including the nursery pot. The plants are supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 19cm.
