It makes a beautiful small tree, bearing light green, five-lobed leaves. In spring, the leaves are often pink toned. For best results, it is recommended to grow Acer palmatum 'Atropurpureum' in moist but well-drained soil in partial shade. Protect it from the harshest winds, which may cause leaf scorch.
