Acer palmatum 'Atrolineare' – Acer palmatum 'Atrolineare'

View prices and availability
Vertical bush that eventually attains approx. 4 m height but will not acquire a genuine tree form. Most notable characteristic is the very small leaf lobes. The mature leaves of the first outgrowth are 7 - 9 cm long and the leaf lobes only 2 - 5 mm wide. The leaves of the second outgrowth are somewhat larger and have significantly broader lobes, sometimes up to 1.5 cm wide. The lobes will become narrower as these leaves mature. The young leaf is blackish-red, turning to purplish green in summer. Among the small-leafed cultivars, the vertically growing ‘Atrolineare’ is atypical. All the other small-leafed varieties have a broader and lower growth pattern.
