Size: 200L
Sale price$1,300.00

Acer palmatum 'Osakazuki' – Japanese Maple is a compact, deciduous ornamental tree with a broad, rounded canopy and standout autumn performance. Large green leaves turn a deep scarlet-red in autumn—regarded as some of the most vivid among Japanese Maples.

They look excellent in courtyards, Japanese-style gardens, or planted as a seasonal focal point in residential landscapes where colour contrast and form are important. Moderate growth rate and a well-structured habit make it a strong choice for smaller spaces, feature planting, or bonsai use.

Consistent seasonal colour, refined shape, and versatility across ornamental settings make this a reliable option for gardens requiring bold visual impact.
