Acer Beni-maiko

<h2>Acer Beni-maiko</h2><p><strong>Acer palmatum 'Beni-maiko'</strong> is a compact, upright to rounded Japanese maple with a slow growth rate, valued for its striking seasonal colour. New leaves emerge bright red in spring, soften to reddish-pink before turning green in summer, then glow orange in autumn. Best grown in partial shade with shelter from cold, drying winds, it prefers a moist but well-drained, neutral to acidic soil. Eventual size around 3m x 3m. Holder of the RHS Award of Garden Merit.</p><p><strong> To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.</strong></p> <strong>Position:</strong> <span>Partial shade; sheltered from cold winds</span> <strong>Rate of Grow
