Newly planted 2006
Acer palmatum
'Burgundy Lace'
Zone 6
(Europe 7)
An American cultivar of the 'ribbon leaf' group of Japanese Maples, with a colouration comparable to Burgundy wine
As the season progresses it becomes bronzy or greenish
Can grow to 4 metres, with a 5 metre canopy, but can be pruned to fit into smaller landscapes
These pictures show the different colours of this plant at varying times of the year
REMEMBER that all Japanese Maples prefer a slightly acid well drained soil with a constant moisture content.
