There are 4 different species in the set:
Acer palm. Orange Dream
Acer palmatum 'Orange Dream' is a tall Japanese Maple with yellow/orange coloured leaves. This Japanese Maple is remarkable because it grows more upright than most other Japanese Maples.

The leaf buds out in spring with an orange-yellow colour, in summer the leaf is yellow-green, followed by a beautiful yellow autumn colour. This species is very hardy.
Acer palm. Atropurpureum

This Maple can reach a height of no less than 8 metres and a width of 250 cm. You can prune the long shoots in March for compact growth. The Atropurpuream can be placed in a sunny spot as well as in the shade. This plant is very winter hardy.

Pruning is not a problem, but should be done in late summer or early autumn. This Maple species does not like the full sun.
Care
Japanese Maples can best be planted from March until the beginning of October. In this period the soil is warmer and the plants can root well. In a planter this plant does not require special potting soil. Japanese maples are strong plants but in a windy location the leaves can be damaged. So put the Acer in a sheltered place. The plant prefers a spot in the semi-shade, preferably not too much direct sunlight. Too much direct sunlight can cause the roots to dry out, which can lead to leaf loss and burning. A Japanese Maple is not evergreen, which means that it loses its leaves in winter. However, the plant is very hardy and will sprout again in March with beautiful new leaves.
Plantheight
The plants have a height of 25 to 40 cm on delivery (measured incl. Pot). The plants are supplied in pots with a diameter of 10.5 cm.
