Acer Palmatum Atropurpureum
Acer palmatum 'Atropurpureum' is a striking deciduous tree prized for its finely lobed, deep purple-red foliage that maintains its rich color throughout the growing season. Native to Japan, this elegant maple develops a graceful, spreading canopy, making it a popular choice for ornamental gardens.
In spring, its delicate leaves emerge in a vibrant burgundy hue, deepening to a rich purple-red in summer before transforming into brilliant shades of crimson and orange in autumn. Its compact size, typically reaching 4 to 6 meters (13 to 20 feet) in height, makes it ideal for small gardens, patios, and container planting.
This cultivar thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soil and prefers partial shade to full sun. While it can tolerate direct sunlight, too much exposure may cause leaf scorch in hot climates. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods, to maintain its lush foliage.
A perfect choice for Japanese-style gardens, rock gardens, or as a focal point in landscapes, Acer palmatum 'Atropurpureum' also adapts well to bonsai cultivation. Its slow-growing nature and year-round beauty make it a timeless addition to any garden.
