The foliage colour of this rare Acer is nothing less than extraordinary. Not only is the changing seasonal colour spectacular but ‘Amagi Shigure’ is also what is known as a ‘Reticulated Acer’. This refers to the tracery of darker veins which form an intricate, net-like pattern against the evolving foliage colour. In spring, the deeply-lobed leaves emerge a shocking fuchsia-pink – surely one of the pinkest of any Acer available. The pink is accented with dark purple veining and the leaves often exhibit a metal sheen. The foliage colour continues to work through a kaleidoscope of tones, transitioning through darker reds and emerald green in late summer before developing warm carmine/orange tones in the autumn. The exact shades will depend upon situation, with shadier areas encouraging whitish-pink marbling later in the season. Acer ‘Amagi Shigure’ makes a fabulous container feature or specimen tree for the open ground. It is best grown in a site with protection from the afternoon sun. Maximum height and spread: 2.5-3m (8-10ft).
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
