Acer palmatum 'Katsura'

Common name: Japanese Maple 'Katsura'

Description

Acer palmatum 'Katsura' is a deciduous tree prized for its attractive, lobed foliage which emerges with fresh colors in spring and often takes on warm hues in autumn. It has a graceful, compact habit making it suitable for smaller gardens or as a specimen feature. This cultivar typically grows slowly, reaching a manageable height and spread that suit most garden spaces.

This plant prefers a sheltered position with well-drained soil, thriving best in partial shade to protect its delicate leaves. It produces insignificant flowers, so its main appeal lies in its vibrant foliage throughout the growing seasons. 'Katsura' generally adapts well to typical UK garden conditions and offers year-round interest, especially for autumn colour enthusiasts.
