Acer Palmatum Milligan
Over the years amongst the thousands of seedlings that we produce the odd one stands out. This is one of them and it is only available form our nursery.
Crimson pink new growth, maturing to a veined blue/green/cream leaf for Summer, shades of yellow/orange/red in Autumn.
Ultimate height of 1-2m in 20 years.
The plant supplied is in a 1 litre pot and approximately 30-40cm from the top of the pot. Please note you may not receive the exact plant in the photo but it will be of the same quality.
We recommend repotting from March until the end of June as Acer's need time to root around in their new pot before the winter.
Repot into a 3 litre pot - anything bigger may result in the plant not surviving as they don't like to be over potted.
Use an ericaceous soil mixed with potting bark as they need a free draining medium.
Water well in the spring and summer and stop watering once the leaves have fallen off in the autumn - they will not tolerate sitting damp over the winter.
Enjoy the amazing autumn colours
Unfortunately we can no longer send plants to Northern Ireland due to complications with the new customs and plant health controls.
All pictures are of our own plants and the have been propagated by ourselves at our family run Nursery.
