Maple (Acer)

Maples (Acer species) are versatile trees that tolerate a range of soils and sites with light conditions from full sun to partial shade. Acer trees with variegated foliage tend to do better out of the midday sun. The trees in our range grow to between 5 and 35 metres tall, suitable for gardens of any size.

As a family, the Acers are pretty trouble free and disease resistant. Pretty much their only requirement is that they have reasonable drainage. 

What size Maple trees should I buy?

• If you are not in a hurry to get a full sized Maple tree, we recommend starting with the smaller 6/8cm girth size.
• If you are in a hurry and need instant impact, then go for the 8/10cm girth size.

Standard trees are measured by their girth 1 metre above the ground, and young saplings are measured by height. Therefore, a 6/8cm Standard Maple tree is much bigger than an 60/80cm sapling Maple tree. If a tree is available in both sizes, it will be noted in the product descriptions.
