Acer palmatum 'Skeeter's Broom'
Acer 'Skeeter's Broom' is a compact deciduous Japanese maple prized for its rich red foliage and changing seasonal colour. Fresh growth emerges bright red in spring, deepening through summer before intensifying again with vibrant autumn tones.
Its naturally upright, bushy habit makes 'Skeeter's Broom' particularly well suited to smaller gardens, patio containers and compact planting schemes. The finely textured foliage adds colour and structure without taking up too much space.
Hardy and easy to grow, 'Skeeter's Broom' performs best in a sheltered position in sun or partial shade, away from strong winds and intense midday sun. It prefers moist but well-drained soil and is an excellent choice for borders, courtyards and containers.
