Acer palmatum Yasemin

Common Name: Yasemin Japanese Maple

Description:
Acer palmatum 'Yasemin' is a stunning deciduous Japanese maple known for its deeply lobed, elegant foliage and rich, seasonally changing colours. In spring, its finely cut leaves emerge deep burgundy-red, holding their dark tones throughout summer before turning fiery shades of crimson and orange in autumn. With an upright, spreading growth habit, ‘Yasemin’ is an excellent feature tree for gardens, courtyards, and large containers. Thriving in well-drained, moist soils, it prefers part shade but can tolerate full sun in cooler climates. Hardy and low-maintenance, this exceptional variety is well-suited to Melbourne gardens, offering year-round beauty.
