Description
Acer palmatum ‘Cascade Ruby’
Acer palmatum ‘Cascade Ruby’ is a beautifully elegant Japanese maple, admired for its cascading habit and luminous foliage. Its finely divided leaves emerge in bright yellow-gold in spring with vivid red stems, glowing in the garden and adding a soft, weeping texture as they cascade down gracefully. Through summer, the foliage deepens to chartreuse tones before turning warm shades of amber and orange in autumn. Compact and slow-growing, it typically reaches 1.5–2m, making it ideal for smaller gardens, containers, or as a feature in shaded borders. Thriving in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil, ‘Cascade Ruby’ brings year-round interest and refined beauty to any garden setting.

About the Family
Acer, commonly known as maples, is a diverse and widely loved genus of trees and shrubs celebrated for their graceful habit, ornamental foliage, and stunning seasonal colour. With over 120 species distributed across the Northern Hemisphere, Acers range from stately, long-lived forest trees to compact, slow-growing forms perfect for small gardens and containers. Their distinctive lobed leaves, often finely divided, bring elegance throughout the growing season before transforming into brilliant displays of red, orange, or gold in autumn.
Japanese maples (Acer palmatum and its cultivars) are especially prized for their delicate foliage and artistic shapes, making them popular centrepieces in gardens worldwide. Larger species, such as Acer saccharum (sugar maple) and Acer platanoides (Norway maple), provide valuable shade and are renowned for their autumn brilliance. Many species also produce winged seeds, or samaras, which add seasonal interest and aid natural self-sowing.
Adaptable and versatile, Acers grow in a wide range of conditions but generally prefer moist, well-drained soil and shelter from harsh winds. Their beauty, longevity, and variety ensure they have a place in almost any garden design, from woodland plantings to formal landscapes, offering year-round interest and a timeless connection to nature.
