Acer Tamukeyama - Bare-Rooted

Acer dissectum Tamukeyama is a Japanese maple tree that features deeply dissected, lace-like leaves that start as a deep crimson in spring, maintain a consistent dark maroon throughout the summer, and then transform into a stunning bright red in autumn. The fine texture of the leaves, combined with its gracefully weeping form, makes it a spectacular ornamental feature.

Ideal for a variety of garden styles, including Japanese and formal gardens, the Tamukeyama thrives in partial shade, which helps protect its vibrant foliage from fading. It prefers moist, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic pH. Due to its weeping habit and controlled growth, it is perfectly suited for small gardens, rockeries, or as a distinctive container plant.

Typically reaches a height and spread of about 2m.

What is a bare-rooted tree?

Bare-rooted trees are deciduous trees that have been grown in the ground and are dug up when they've become dormant in the winter. The soil is shaken from their roots and they are bundled up with their roots packed in moist material to prevent dehydration during transport. 

What are the benefits? 

• Less packaging and plastic waste involved in growing process and transportation. 
• Plant has more root mass as the roots have not been constricted and twisted by a pot.
• They are easier to carry and plant as they are extremely lightweight.
• Bare-rooted trees are cheaper as they do not come with soil and pots. 
• Planting bare-rooted trees in the winter follows the natural pattern of the seasons.
