Acer palmatum ‘Iyoshi’ is a stunning Japanese maple known for its graceful, upright growth habit and vibrant foliage. This deciduous tree, growing to a height of around 2 metres, offers year-round interest with its striking appearance. In spring and summer, ‘Iyoshi’ showcases finely cut, palmate leaves that start off as a delicate, bright green before transitioning to deeper shades of red and purple in autumn. This colour change creates a dramatic display, especially in the cooler months. Perfect for smaller gardens or as a specimen tree, ‘Iyoshi’ thrives in well-drained, preferably acidic soil in partial shade to full sun. Its relatively compact size makes it ideal for both urban gardens and traditional landscapes, providing a refined focal point. Hardy to around -20°C, this tree also enjoys a strong presence in large containers, where it can be showcased on patios and terraces. Acer palmatum ‘Iyoshi’ is a resilient and elegant choice for anyone looking to add beauty and character to their outdoor space.
