Favourite Colour Japanese Maple Tree Gift
Orange Dream Japanese Maple Tree Gift
Sun Valley Maple Tree
Autumn is when our Acers show their true colours; from luminous pinks and yellows to moody reds and purples. This season alone makes our Acer Trees a superb gift. Fortunately, autumn returns every year so loved ones can admire this gift.
Are you searching for an anniversary or Wedding gift? All of our Acer Trees have meaningful symbolism and are enchanting enough to fit the occasion, but some do more so than others. Our Orange Dream Japanese Maple Tree, Going Green Japanese Maple Tree, and Butterfly Japanese Maple Tree bring luxurious colours to outdoor spaces, making them stand-out gifts for such profound occasions.
Acer Trees are generally slow growing and have a compact size meaning they are suitable for small and medium gardens or even for potted growth on patios and driveways: less responsibility, more natural beauty.
Acer palmatum and Acer japonicum flourish in cool areas with moist, well-drained, and slightly acidic soil and protection from strong winds. It is slow-growing and shrub-like (broader than they are tall), making them ideal for small gardens. Full sun can scorch the leaves and spoil their colour, so make sure they are partially shaded in the afternoon. It can be grown in a pot and generally doesn’t need pruning.
Many acer varieties, like our Favourite Colour Japanese Maple, are compact in size and thrive in pots. They're perfect for patios, balconies or small gardens. A pot allows flexibility in positioning for light and shelter.
Most acer trees grow slowly, adding about 20–30cm a year depending on the variety. The Sun Valley Maple can eventually reach 5-6 metres, while others like the Little Princess stay under 2m. Their slow growth makes them perfectly suited as thoughtful, long-lasting gifts, ever evolving as symbols of love.
Acer trees are famous for their breathtaking autumn colours, from fiery reds to deep golds. While they do lose their leaves in winter, the coloured bark and elegant structure keep visual interest alive through the colder months. An Acer gift is a way to send seasonal beauty and lasting joy, no matter the time of year. Discover our full Acer Tree Gift range.

In short, yes and no. “Acer” is the botanical genus for all maple trees. Japanese maples, or Acer palmatum, are a beloved species within this family. So while all Japanese maples are Acers, not all Acers are Japanese maples.
With over 100 species of Acer around the world, the Japanese maple stands out for its fine foliage, manageable size, and rich cultural symbolism in nature connection and balance.
