Description:
A vigorous, relatively fast-growing cultivar, Garnet will reach 3m or more eventually, but after ten years is still only about 1.8m to 2.1m (6ft to 7ft). It will be true to its name if grown in sun, becoming greener in shade. These beautiful and graceful trees are subjects for bonsai in pots as well as being used extensively in the landscape. An artfully pruned tree flowing over the side of a wall, as if a waterfall in motion, brings grace and beauty to even a simple scene. Plant this to cascade down a wall or in a large container. Several maples have excellent red or purple foliage, few finer than this one, whose leaves open bright red and then deepen to a rich garnet colour. It needs a special position where it can be admired, with shelter from both late frosts and hot sunshine. Tolerates some lime, but colours better on neutral to acid soil. It is regarded by nurserymen as easy to grow, and is one of the most popular varieties. Bright red in fall.
