Description:
Acer palmatum 'Wilson's Pink Dwarf' is a small deciduous shrub that is especially attractive in spring, when the tiny, five-lobed leaves are a brilliant pink colour which lasts for several weeks. This variety has an upright habit. In summer the leaves become light green, turning orange and red in autumn. The upright shape and small size of this acer makes it an ideal plant for a small garden, or for a container. Best in a sheltered position, shaded from hot afternoon sun.
