Acer Palmatum or Japanese Maples include ever-increasing numbers of new and interesting forms almost by the month. They range from dwarf shrubs up to small trees.

Acer Palmatum has a finely distinct pink flush, before becoming bronze-green and then green They are easy to grow and prefer a little dapple shade and a site out of strong winds. Best planted in slightly acidic soil and not too wet. When pruning Japanese maples you should consider doing in Autumn/Winter when the sap is falling as doing it in spring can make them bleed too much and it is possible to lose entire limbs.

Acer palmatum 'Skeeter's Broom' is a captivating dwarf Japanese maple that stands out with its unique, compact growth and vibrant foliage. This charming deciduous shrub features a dense, bushy habit with finely serrated leaves that emerge in a striking green and turn to shades of yellow and orange in the autumn.

Where to Position Your Acer palmatum 'Skeeter's Broom'

Acer palmatum 'Skeeter's Broom' thrives in partial shade to full sun, although it benefits from some protection against the harsh midday sun to prevent leaf burn. It should be planted in well-drained, fertile soil that remains consistently moist. This versatile shrub is perfect for small garden beds, borders, or as a focal point in containers, making it well-suited to both urban and country settings.

Growth and Maintenance

This dwarf Japanese maple is relatively low-maintenance. Regular watering is important to keep the soil moist, especially during dry spells. Applying a layer of mulch around the base helps retain moisture and keep the roots cool. Light pruning in late winter or early spring can help maintain its compact shape and remove any dead or damaged wood.
