PLANTS OF ITALIAN MAPLE - ACER OPALUS

Known for its incredible shades of colors in autumn this small tree is a must in a garden!. Bonsai.

Tree up to 7m. tall. Deciduous leaves shiny on the upperside and more opaque on the underside. Greenish flowers presenting little interest.

Dig a hole at least two or three times as wide and deep as the root ball. Take out the plant from the container and loosen roots to allow them to spread out in all direction.

Compact the soil around the plant and water thoroughly.
