Acer pal. Pevé Dave P26

Acer palmatum 'Pévè Dave' is a compact, slow-growing Japanese maple ideal for small gardens, patios, and containers. Grow in a sheltered position with sun or light shade to protect the delicate foliage from scorching and cold, drying winds. Plant in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil that is neutral to acidic, and keep evenly watered in dry spells. Deciduous foliage offers graceful seasonal interest and often develops good autumn colour, making this a refined choice for courtyard and architectural planting schemes.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
