Ash-leaved Maple

Acer negundo Flamingo

• Position: partial shade

• Rate of growth: fast-growing

  Beautiful light green leaves with generous shrimp-pink margins, maturing to white in summer, and clusters of greenish-yellow spring flowers. This fast-growing, rounded to broadly spreading ash-leafed maple makes an excellent specimen tree for a medium-sized garden. The foliage is best in partial shade - the delicate variegated leaves may scorch in full sun.
  
  
• Garden care: Add a top dressing of a multi-purpose fertiliser around the base of the plant in late spring. No routine pruning is required. Remove any dead, damaged or crossing branches in April when the plant is in full growth.
