Take a look at some of the frequently asked questions we receive from those looking to buy Acer Trees in the UK. You can contact our Customer Service Team or browse our general FAQs for further advice.
Acer trees are best planted in late autumn or early spring when the soil is moist, and temperatures are cooler. This timing helps the tree establish roots before the hot summer months or the onset of winter.
To plant an acer tree, select a sheltered location with well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice the width and the same depth as the root ball. Place the tree in the hole, ensuring the root collar is level with the soil surface. Backfill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Acer trees can take several years to reach their full size, depending on the variety and growing conditions. They typically grow at a moderate rate of 1 to 2 feet per year. Providing optimal care, including proper watering, fertilising, and protection from harsh conditions, will promote healthy growth.
Acer trees are prized for their stunning foliage, which provides year-round interest with vibrant autumn colours. They are relatively low-maintenance, adaptable to various soil types, and can be grown in containers or as feature trees in gardens. Acers also add architectural beauty and can enhance the overall landscape design.
Acer trees thrive in well-drained soil and prefer a sheltered spot with partial shade to full sun. They can be grown in gardens, large containers, and mixed borders. Acers are versatile and can be used as specimen trees, in Japanese-style gardens, or to add colour and structure to woodland areas.
