Acer palmatum ‘Trompenburg’ – A Striking Japanese Maple with Deep Burgundy Foliage

Acer palmatum ‘Trompenburg is a magnificent Japanese Maple known for its rich, deep burgundy-red foliage that adds bold colour and elegance to any garden. Its finely dissected leaves are dark red in spring, gradually deepening to a dark purple by summer, with a stunning fiery red display in autumn. With a compact, upright habit, this variety is an excellent choice for small gardens, urban landscapes, and containers, where it can provide year-round visual interest and create a striking focal point.

Why Grow Acer palmatum ‘Trompenburg’?

  • Vibrant Burgundy Foliage – Rich red leaves that deepen to purple and turn red in autumn.
  • Upright, Compact Form – An ideal choice for smaller spaces, patios, or containers.
  • Year-Round Appeal – Attractive foliage throughout the seasons, offering colour and texture.
  • Hardy & Low Maintenance – A robust variety that requires minimal care while thriving in various conditions.

Height of Plant

Acer palmatum ‘Trompenburg’ typically reaches a height of 1.8–2.4 meters, forming a dense, upright, and graceful shape.

Where to Site Your Acer palmatum ‘Trompenburg’

This beautiful Japanese Maple thrives in partial shade, though it can tolerate full sun in cooler climates, preferring moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. It’s an excellent option for small gardens, mixed borders, containers, or as a specimen tree in urban landscapes. Pair it with ferns, hostas, hydrangeas, and other shade-loving plants for a complementary and dynamic planting scheme.

How to Grow and Care for Your Acer palmatum ‘Trompenburg’

  • Soil – Prefers moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil enriched with organic matter.
  • Light – Best in partial shade, though it can handle full sun in cooler climates.
  • Watering – Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, particularly during dry periods.

Maintenance:

  • Mulching – Apply mulch to retain moisture, protect roots, and regulate soil temperature.
  • Pruning – Minimal pruning required; remove dead or crossing branches in late winter or early spring.
  • Protection from Harsh Sun – Afternoon shade is helpful in warmer climates to avoid leaf scorch.
  • Winter Care – Protect young trees from strong winds, especially in exposed areas.

Perfect Plant Combinations

Acer palmatum ‘Trompenburg’ pairs beautifully with Japanese forest grass (Hakonechloa macra), hostas, hydrangeas, and ferns, creating a contrasting, harmonious display. For added impact, plant alongside silver or gold-foliaged plants, or mix with evergreens to highlight its rich burgundy leaves.

With its gorgeous purple-red foliage, compact form, and elegant shape, Acer palmatum ‘Trompenburg’ is an outstanding addition to any garden. Whether planted in a small space, container, or mixed border, it offers year-round interest and beauty, making it a must-have for any garden enthusiast.
