The Acer Shirasawanum 'Jordan' is a slow-growing, small deciduous tree prized for its elegant form and captivating foliage. Its fan-shaped leaves boast a unique colouration; emerging with a crimson hue, they transition to a butter-yellow in summer before culminating in a breathtaking autumnal display of golden orange with red edges. As the tree matures, small crimson flowers appear, providing a delightful contrast to the foliage. Reaching approximately 4m x 4m over 20 years, this golden Japanese Maple exhibits a bushy, spreading habit, making it ideal for both traditional and contemporary gardens. Supplied as a potted plant (3L) measuring 40-50cm tall, it's ready for immediate planting in the ground or potting on. While slightly acidic soil is optimal, it thrives in most well-drained soils, avoiding excessively wet, dry, or alkaline conditions. For container planting, a 50/50 blend of ericaceous and multipurpose compost is recommended, though not strictly essential. When planting in the garden, prepare a wide hole, loosening the soil with a fork and incorporating organic matter to improve moisture retention and soil structure. This variety is easy to grow and very hardy, even in the coldest parts of the UK. Suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience, you can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come.
