Product information

Are you looking for a statement tree that offers strong vertical interest throughout the year in your garden?

This specimen, the Acer platanoides ‘Columnare’, is renowned for its columnar and upright habit, forming a dense vertical structure perfect for framing views. Its seasonal journey begins with clusters of green-yellow flowers in April and May, followed by small, winged green fruits typical of maples, before the leaves offer a striking bright yellow display in the autumn months.

To achieve the best performance in a UK garden, ensure it is planted in moist but well-drained soil, tolerating any pH level, and it will thrive whether placed in full sun or partial shade, though a sheltered spot is always preferable; this tree is ideal as an architectural specimen or for creating structured screening.
