Acer Palmatum ‘Japanese Sunrise’ (Japanese Sunrise Japanese Maple)

Acer Palmatum ‘Japanese Sunrise’ is an elegant, broadly upright Japanese maple prized for its colourful foliage and striking ornamental bark. Its finely lobed leaves emerge yellow-green with coppery-orange margins in spring, mature to fresh green through summer, then develop glowing shades of gold, yellow and red during autumn. Once the leaves fall, the young stems become a standout feature, displaying coral-red, orange and golden-yellow tones throughout winter.

Perfect as a feature tree, ‘Japanese Sunrise’ brings year-round colour and graceful structure to courtyards, Japanese-style gardens, woodland settings and mixed borders. Its upright growth makes it an excellent choice where vertical interest is needed without an excessively broad canopy. Plant it in a sheltered position with moist, well-drained soil to enjoy its vibrant seasonal display for many years.
