Acer

Acer trees are a diverse and mostly hardy group, easy to grow in a wide range of soils. They thrive in sun or partial shade and include such delights as Japanese and snakebark maples.

Spectacular leaves, incredibly varied in size, shape and colour, are their predominate feature. Many acer also develop brilliant autumn colour.

Although not known as flowering trees, many have attractive, small, delicate flowers in spring before the leaves unfold. These may be followed by colourful fruits in late summer and autumn.

For Japanese maples see the Acer palmatum page.
