Notably vigorous, this maple develops an elegant, umbrella-like shape, achieving a dense, mounded form over time. Perfect for gardens in USDA zones 5 through 10, 'Garnet' thrives in full sun, even in warmer climates, without losing its rich color. Reaching 6-8 feet in height and 8-12 feet in width, 'Garnet' adds a dramatic focal point to cottage, city, or Japanese gardens and is ideal for specimen planting or containers.

Renowned for its resilience and low maintenance, 'Garnet' thrives in moist, organically rich, slightly acidic soils. Mulching helps retain moisture and keep roots cool, while minimal pruning ensures its natural beauty remains intact. Awarded the prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society, Acer palmatum 'Garnet' is a celebrated choice for adding elegance and vibrant color to your landscape. Embrace the charm and splendor of 'Garnet' in your garden and enjoy a living masterpiece of nature.
