Acer platanoides 'Royal Red' Topiary Beyond its shape and size

Beyond its shape and size it shares all its characteristics with its relative the Silver Birch

Its abundance of flowers

The single flowers are white with a pink flush

In early summer the thin leaves filter the sunlight bathing everything below in golden light

giving way to firm red glossy fruits

Acer platanoides 'Royal Red' Topiary Beyond its shape and size'Royal Red' is very similar to the 'Crimson King' cultivar but is slightly more upright, slower growing and more maroon purple in colour. As it isn't as vigorous it is less prone to frost cracks. Bears small yellow red tinged flowers together with the emerging dark foilage in spring. Yellow and orange autumn colour. Hardy.
