Plant Description

The Acer palmatum Atropurpureum, a popular Japanese Maple cultivar, is renowned for its stunning purple-red foliage that deepens as the seasons change. This deciduous tree has delicately lobed leaves, forming an elegant, spreading canopy that provides vibrant color in spring and summer, transitioning to fiery scarlet in autumn. Compact and slow-growing, the Atropurpureum is perfect for small gardens, container planting, or as a focal point in landscaped areas. Its graceful branching structure adds year-round visual appeal, even in winter when bare.

Cultivation

• Soil type: Prefers moist, well-drained soil, slightly acidic to neutral, enriched with organic matter.

• Watering frequency: Maintain consistent soil moisture, especially in dry spells. Avoid waterlogging.

• Light exposure: Thrives in partial shade; can tolerate full sun in cooler climates but needs protection in hot, dry conditions.

• Temperature requirements: Grows well in moderate climates, tolerating -15°C to 30°C (5°F to 86°F). Protect from frost and heat extremes.

• Fertilization: Apply a slow-release balanced fertilizer in early spring to encourage healthy growth.

• Pruning: Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and remove deadwood. Avoid heavy pruning.

• Common pests: Watch for aphids, spider mites, and scale insects. Treat with organic pest control methods as needed.

• Other tips: Mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature, but keep mulch away from the trunk.
