Product Information

Full details

The Acer Shirasawanum 'Jordan' is an ideal choice for gardeners and patio owners seeking a low-maintenance, high-impact ornamental tree that offers a dramatic seasonal color display. Its primary strength lies in its stunning year-round transformation, evolving from light orange spring leaves to bright yellow summer foliage and ending in a vibrant red autumn finish, though potential owners should note that it requires protection from harsh, direct afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorching.

FAQs

Does this plant come with a decorative pot?

No, the plant is supplied in a standard 3-litre nursery pot for transport. You will need to provide your own decorative container.

Can I grow Acer 'Jordan' in full sun?

It is generally not recommended. The foliage is sensitive to hot, direct afternoon sun and performs much better in partial shade or filtered light.

Why has my tree lost all its leaves?

The Acer 'Jordan' is a deciduous plant. It is perfectly normal for it to lose its leaves during the colder autumn and winter months before sprouting new growth in the spring.

How often should I fertilize it?

A single application of a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring is usually sufficient to support healthy growth for the entire season.

What is the maximum height this tree will reach?

The Acer 'Jordan' is a compact variety that typically reaches between 150cm and 200cm in height.

Troubleshooting

Leaf edges turning brown and crispy

This is usually caused by leaf scorch from too much direct sun or wind. Move the plant to a more sheltered location with dappled shade.

Yellowing or drooping leaves

Check the soil moisture; this can be a sign of both over-watering or under-watering. Ensure the container has good drainage and the soil is consistently moist but not saturated.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Vibrant, multi-seasonal foliage color
Compact size ideal for small spaces and patios
Natural bushy growth habit requires minimal pruning
Adaptable to both container and ground planting

Cons

Susceptible to leaf scorch in direct afternoon sun
Requires consistently moist soil, demanding regular attention
Deciduous nature means it will be bare during winter months

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Acer thrives, follow these standard care guidelines:

Positioning: Choose a site with filtered sunlight or partial shade. Avoid spots exposed to strong winds or direct, intense afternoon sun.
Planting: When transferring from the supplied 3-litre pot, use a well-draining, slightly acidic compost or soil mix. Ensure the container has adequate drainage holes if using a decorative pot.
Watering: Maintain consistent soil moisture. Check the pot daily during hot, dry spells; the soil should feel damp to the touch but not waterlogged.
Feeding: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as the new buds begin to swell to support robust seasonal growth.
Maintenance: As a deciduous plant, it will shed its leaves in autumn. Simply clear away fallen leaves to keep the base tidy.
