Fun facts

Did you know that the Acer Skeeter's Broom is often used in bonsai art? Its compact and dense form makes it an ideal candidate for this ancient practice, allowing artists to create living sculptures that fit elegantly on any tabletop. In Japan, the Acer is celebrated during festivals where thousands of people gather to witness its colourful display. Unlike other plants, the Acer continues to shine through the seasons, each leaf a canvas painted with rich, natural hues. When autumn comes, each leaf dances down like nature's confetti, adding an extra touch of magic to your garden. It's truly a plant that not only grows but entertains, providing delight with every glance.

Signs of weakness

Watch out for leaves that are wilting or turning brown at the edges; this could indicate underwatering. Yellowing leaves may suggest it's receiving too much sunlight or waterlogged soil. Trim away any dead or browning branches to keep it healthy and vibrant.
