Acer conspicuum Red Flamingo
Happy and hardy in any decent, moist well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Mostly trouble-free and low-maintenance, the Snake bark maple is a beautiful sculptural tree with eye-catching foliage for sheltered city, cottage, coastal, country and suburban gardens. It makes an inviting feature in small front and rear town gardens and with regular pruning (to keep it shrubby and prevent it from growing into a tree,) Snake bark maple can be easily grown in large planters. 4-6m x 4-6m
Our potted trees may be planted at anytime, ideally in full sun and any decent, moist well-drained soil. Avoid planting when the ground is excessively wet or frozen. Remember, trees normally reach their ultimate height and spread within 10-20 years depending on species so give it ample growing room.
A stunning tree or small shrub depending on your preference that is slow-growing and needs little pruning. Trim lightly in February if needed, removing any unwanted crossed branches or dead, damaged and diseased stems to maintain size and shape.
