Acer Palmatum Black Lace, 3LSo redolent of Oriental elegance, acers provide a delicate beauty in so many gardens, with its feathery, chameleon like foliage. With an upright habit, the deciduous Acer Palmatum Black Lace has deeply incised leaves that divide into five lobes, so typical of maples. The deep purple foliage colour of early summer takes on a bronze tone as the season matures turning orange red in the autumn.
