Maple Trees / Acer

Acer includes ornamental maples valued for leaf shape, branching and autumn colour, from compact Japanese maples to larger trees for broader garden structure.

Maples bring refined foliage, attractive branching and some of the strongest autumn colour available from a garden tree. The group ranges from compact ornamental acers to larger shade and specimen trees. Many maples grow well in Ireland thanks to moderate temperatures and regular moisture. Delicate Japanese types benefit from shelter, while larger species can suit more open positions provided their mature size is allowed for.

Maple Trees / Acer for Irish Gardens

What This Collection Brings to the Garden

Acer includes ornamental maples valued for leaf shape, branching and autumn colour, from compact Japanese maples to larger trees for broader garden structure.

Maples bring refined foliage, attractive branching and some of the strongest autumn colour available from a garden tree. The group ranges from compact ornamental acers to larger shade and specimen trees.

Why It Works in Irish Gardens

Many maples grow well in Ireland thanks to moderate temperatures and regular moisture. Delicate Japanese types benefit from shelter, while larger species can suit more open positions provided their mature size is allowed for.

Choosing the Right Plants

Choose a tree by its mature height, crown width, root space and long-term position rather than by the size of the young plant. Consider nearby buildings, boundaries, overhead lines and the amount of shade the canopy will eventually cast.

Planting and Care

Stake only where necessary, keep ties checked and maintain a weed-free area around the base while the tree establishes. Prune selectively for structure rather than routinely shortening the whole crown.
