Dwarf maple
A beautiful dwarf Japanese maple! The 'Aureum' (Acer shirasawanum) is a slow-growing plant. It forms a branched, upright-growing shrub with fresh yellow, feathered leaves. In autumn, it is a beautiful orange. You can even plant the shrub in open ground, or in a pot on the patio or balcony. The hardy shrub can be planted all year round.
The shrub does not require pruning. If you want to prune anyway, do it in late summer or early autumn. Plant the Japanese maple in partial shade. The shrub prefers well-drained soil. Give it extra water during dry periods.
