Acer palmatum ‘Phoenix’ is a spectacular Japanese maple celebrated for its deeply dissected, lace-like leaves that emerge bright green in spring and transition to vibrant shades of red and orange in autumn. Its elegant, cascading habit and delicate branching create a graceful, sculptural presence in the garden. This slow-growing deciduous tree thrives in partial shade with well-drained, fertile soil, and benefits from protection against harsh winds and late frosts. Acer palmatum ‘Phoenix’ is perfect as a specimen tree, in mixed borders, or in large containers, providing year-round interest, seasonal color, and refined, ornamental beauty.
