Just planted 2017
Acer palmatum
'FIRECRACKER'
Zone 6
(Europe 7)
New to me in June 2017
this is a beautiful Japanese maple with deeply lacinated serrated leaves
The plant has overhanging branches and deep red foliage
A broad and fast growing specimin
A relatively new variety introduced by Esveld in Holland
These pictures show the different colours of this plant during varying times of the year
REMEMBER that all Japanese Maples prefer a slightly acid well drained soil with a constant moisture content.
