Acer Palmatum 'Brown Sugar'

The striking Japanese maple variety Acer palmatum 'Brown Sugar' is prized for its exquisite, deeply lobed leaves, which emerge in spring with a deep bronze-orange colour. The foliage changes to a vibrant mix of orange, red, and green as the season goes on, offering a vibrant display of colour all through the growing season. This small, deciduous tree works well as a focal point in a landscape or to add grace and brilliant colour to patios and gardens.

Plant in well-drained, acidic to neutral soil in areas that receive partial shade to full sun. In particular during dry spells, water frequently to maintain a constant moisture content in the soil, but do not overwater. Mulch helps control soil temperature and moisture retention. To avoid scorching leaves, shield them from strong winds and afternoon sunlight.
