Details

Compact Japanese maple with golden yellow summer foliage that turns orange and red in autumn. For a pot on a patio or balcony and the border.

Type: Acer palmatum 'Summergold' · Pot: ø19 cm · Height: approx. 70 cm

Japanese maple 'Summergold' (Acer palmatum) is a compact maple with golden yellow leaves in summer. You receive a plant about 70 cm tall including the nursery pot, in a ø19 cm pot.

This Japanese maple grows compactly, so it fits in a pot on a patio or balcony, in a small garden or in the border. In autumn the golden yellow leaves turn orange and red. Place it in a sheltered spot in partial shade, out of harsh afternoon sun and cold, drying wind. The soil or potting compost should stay slightly moist but drain well. It is hardy and loses its leaves in autumn.

Delivery

Shipping a two-metre plant takes more than a box and some tape. That's why we do it differently from an ordinary online shop.

How your plant arrives in one piece

Fresh from the greenhouse
Your plant does not sit in a warehouse for weeks. The grower only takes it out of the greenhouse after you order and prepares it straight away.
Packed securely
In a box made for plants. Plant and soil are secured and a protective sleeve keeps the leaves intact, so nothing shifts on the way.
Protected from heat and frost
Is it very hot or freezing outside? Then we add a cold pack or heat pack to the box, so the weather doesn't affect your plant on the way.
The right carrier for every size
Smaller plants are delivered by PostNL or DHL. The very largest plants travel upright on a pallet with a specialist carrier.
You know exactly when it arrives
As soon as your plant is on its way, you receive track & trace by email, so you can make sure someone is home and, for a large plant, someone to help carry it in.

When will your plant arrive?

4–5working days after you order

★★★★Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd

Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd. De plant kwam een beetje beschadigd aan. Door dat de bladeren op een onjuiste manier in de doos waren gestopt. Verder is het een mooie plant.

★★★★★Goede service en een mooie plant

Ik ben blij verrast! Een mooie uitziende plant en goed verpakt ontvangen. Bij de mededeling vroeg ik of zij wilde kijken naar een rechtopstaande plant en als het kan iets groter dan aangegeven maat. Daar heeft de kweker ook goed...

Stel je vraag

Can Acer palmatum 'Summergold' grow in a pot?

Yes, this Japanese maple grows compactly and does well in a pot on a patio or balcony. Choose a pot with a hole in the bottom, use good potting compost and keep the soil slightly moist. Move the pot against the house wall in severe frost.

When do you plant a Japanese maple?

In spring or in autumn, outside periods of frost and heat. Water well after planting or repotting.

Where does Acer palmatum 'Summergold' grow best?

In partial shade, in a sheltered spot. Harsh afternoon sun and strong wind can scorch or dry out the leaf edges.

Is a Japanese maple hardy?

Yes, Acer palmatum is hardy. It is deciduous: in autumn the leaves change colour and fall, in spring it sprouts again. In a pot the roots are more sensitive to frost, so give it a sheltered spot.

Do you need to prune a Japanese maple?

Usually pruning is not necessary. Remove dead or crossing branches in winter or summer. Do not prune in spring, as the plant will bleed.
