Acer 'Esk Flamingo' - Snakebark Maple
Availability: In stock
Add a splash of elegance to your garden with the striking 'Esk Flamingo' variety, a beautifully variegated ornamental tree that’s guaranteed to turn heads. Its delicate, lacy leaves emerge in spring with a unique blend of pink, white, and soft green, giving a flamingo-like flush. As the seasons progress, the foliage matures to a creamy-white and green mix, with flashes of soft pink remaining through summer. In autumn, expect a fiery display of oranges and reds.Â
Â
Perfect for Japanese-style gardens, woodland borders, or as a standout specimen in a mixed bed, this small acer prefers partial shade and thrives in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Shelter it from harsh winds to protect its delicate leaves. Little pruning is required; just remove any damaged branches in late winter or early spring.
