The Acer palmatum, or Japanese Maple, is an exquisite, ornamental tree native to East Asia that has become a coveted centrepiece in many British gardens. Diverse in form, colour, and size, Japanese Maples stand out distinctly amidst the English Oaks, Beeches, and Yews that are commonly found across England.
