The Acer palmatum 'Festival' is one of the many varieties of Japanese maple. The Festival is a plant with a mix of different coloured leaves, that will put you in a festive mood! The shrub has yellow, green and dark red leaves throughout spring and summer. Towards autumn, the leaves turn orange and red. The mixed colours make it a special plant and it will be a nice addition to your garden.

Care
The Festival is a slow grower with a narrow upright growth direction that keeps the plant compact. This allows you to grow this tree in a pot or in a smaller garden. Japanese Maples can best be planted from March to the beginning of November. In this period the soil is warmer and the plants can easily root. Japanese maples are strong plants but in a windy location the leaves can easily get damaged. Therefore, put the Acer in a sheltered place. The plant prefers a spot in the semi-shade, preferably with not too much direct sunlight. Too much direct sunlight can cause the roots and leaves to dry out, which can lead to leaf damage. A Japanese Maple is not evergreen, which means that it loses its leaves during the winter. However, this plant is very hardy and will sprout again in March with beautiful new leaves.

Size
The plant has a height of 60-70cm upon delivery, measured including the nursery pot. The plant is supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 19cm.
