Acer shirasawanum 'Jordan' (PBR)

Golden-leaved Japanese maple

• Position: partial shade
• Soil: fertile, moisture-retentive, well-drained neutral to acid soil
• Rate of growth: slow-growing
• Flowering period: April to May
• Flower colour: purple-red
• Other features: red winged fruit in late summer, great autumn colour
• Hardiness: fully hardy
  
  Golden yellow to lime green initially, the foliage turns a richer shade of green as it matures, and then takes on orange and then red shades in autumn before it falls. This compact, rounded shrub will provide you with a beautiful focal point in a small garden, or in larger spaces, can be used to illuminate a partially shaded border. The striking foliage is best where it is protected from cold, drying winds and excessive sun.
  
  
• Garden care: Add a top-dressing of a multi-purpose fertiliser around the base of the plant in late spring. No routine pruning is required. Remove any dead, damaged or crossing branches in April when the plant is in full growth.
