Acer palmatum 'Butterfly'

It's sometimes surprising how different in character Japanese maples can be. Many varieties are almost shrub-like while other form broad canopies. 'Butterfly' is somewhat betwixt and between, often described as a large shrub or small, vase-shaped tree. Pruning at an early age will help direct this maple's growth. Perfectly suitable for container living or in the ground, 'Butterfly' grows between six and 12 inches per year, and is a excellent patio tree. Protection from the late afternoon sun will keep its leaves from scorching, and looking its best. Water regularly when the temps go up, especially if in a container planter.
