Acer palmatum 'Kashima'

Acer palmatum ‘Kashima’

Acer palmatum is a deciduous, woody shrub native to parts of Asia and Russia. There are many garden-worthy cultivars available, which have been bred for their leaf shapes and colours.

Acer palmatum ‘Kashima’ is a very small, slow growing Japanese maple, with palmate leaves. It’s perfect for growing in a small garden or even a large container. Spring leaves emerge orange, fading to yellow with maturity before becoming bright orange in autumn.

For best results, grow Acer palmatum ‘Kashima’ in sun or partial shade, and protect it from the harshest winds, which may cause leaf scorch.
