Adrian's Compact Japanese Maple

Acer palmatum 'Adrian's Compact'

This selection offers something rare, a slow-growing, reliably compact red maple where new growth provides a dramatic contrast of bright red against the mature burgundy-purple foliage, creating a two-toned effect throughout the season.

  • New growth emerges bright red, contrasting sharply with the mature burgundy-purple foliage on the same plant
  • Strong orange and red fall colour on a plant that stays well under 1.5 m
  • Mildly fragrant, an unusual quality in a Japanese maple
  • Slow-growing, ideal for containers, small gardens, and spaces where other maples would eventually outgrow their place

Growing & Maintenance Tips
Best planted in a well-drained soil with high organic matter. Japanese maples are grown as specimen trees or multi-stemmed plants. Any pruning should be done in summer. Mulch well, but avoid heaping mulch against the stem. Most cultivars need full sun or light afternoon shade.
