Description
Prepare to be captivated by the extraordinary foliage colour of the rare Acer 'Amagi Shigure'. This remarkable tree boasts a spectacle of changing seasonal hues, showcasing one of the pinkest displays among all Acer varieties. As a 'Reticulated Acer', it features a mesmerizing network of darker veins, creating an intricate, net-like pattern against the evolving foliage. In spring, the deeply-lobed leaves emerge in a shocking fuchsia-pink, accentuated by dark purple veining and a metallic sheen. Throughout the seasons, the foliage transforms through a kaleidoscope of tones, transitioning from darker reds and emerald greens in late summer to warm carmine and orange hues in autumn. The exact shades vary depending on the environment, with shadier areas encouraging whitish-pink marbling later in the season. Acer 'Amagi Shigure' thrives as a fabulous container feature or specimen tree in open ground, ideally positioned in a site with protection from the afternoon sun. With a maximum height and spread of 2.5-3m (8-10ft), it promises to make a striking statement in any garden setting.
