Acer Palmatum 'Kinsii' (Kinsii Japanese Maple) is a beautiful and compact Japanese maple known for its vibrant seasonal colour changes. In spring, its finely lobed leaves emerge bright red, deepening into rich burgundy through summer. As autumn arrives, the foliage transforms into brilliant shades of crimson and orange, making it a standout feature in any garden. Its upright growth habit and elegant form make it an excellent choice for small gardens, containers, or as a striking focal point in a landscaped setting.
This deciduous maple thrives in well-drained soil and prefers a position with morning sun and afternoon shade to protect its delicate foliage from scorching. Its low-maintenance nature and stunning foliage transitions make it a popular choice among collectors and garden enthusiasts alike.
