A maple tree that brings depth and contrast to the garden
The Acer platanoides ‘Crimson King’ is chosen for its rich, dark foliage and steady form. Its deep purple leaves hold their colour through the growing season, creating contrast against lighter planting and giving the garden a more grounded feel.
It settles in as a structural tree, offering shade, shape and consistency rather than a short-lived display.
Who this tree is for
This suits gardens where there is space for a tree with presence. It works well as a focal point in lawns or as part of a broader planting scheme where contrast is needed.
It is often chosen by those looking to anchor a space with something dependable and long-lasting.
Strong colour that holds through the season
In spring, the leaves emerge with a reddish tone, quickly deepening into a rich purple. This colour remains consistent through summer, offering a steady backdrop for surrounding plants.
In autumn, the foliage softens before falling, leaving a clear structure through winter.
