Acer palmatum 'Beni Sazanami' Japanese Maple: 'Beni Sazanami', meaning “Red Ripple”, is a refined Japanese maple known for its deeply divided, narrow leaves.

Its elegant, upright form and finely textured leaves create a sense of movement, making it a striking feature in borders, patios, or smaller gardens.
Care Information:
Climate Adaptability: Well-suited to temperate conditions. Provide shelter from hot, dry winds to preserve delicate foliage.
Sun Exposure: Thrives in partial shade. Morning sun with afternoon protection enhances colour while reducing risk of leaf scorch.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, especially in dry periods, but avoid waterlogging.
Soil Type: Plant in well-draining, slightly acidic soil enriched with organic matter.
Pruning: Minimal pruning is required. Light shaping in late winter or early spring can help maintain its elegant form.
Fertilisation: Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in spring to encourage strong growth and vivid foliage.
