Acer davidii

An excellent deciduous tree, commonly known as Pere David’s maple, for structure and long-term presence, notable for fine autumn tints.

Growing to around 4m tall by 3m wide at 10 years. Happy in sun or partial shade on most soils, and grows well in reasonably drained soil. It produces yellow flowers in spring, with attractive green bark and green fruits. Reliably hardy across most of the UK.
