Description
A tree to plant as a family and watch grow!
The Japanese maple ‘Atropurpureum’ is a gift that never fades: its colours change with the seasons and it grows taller year after year. A living tree to give to anyone who loves watching nature evolve, young and old alike.
A calendar of colours, in the garden or on the terrace
Purple in spring, bronze in summer, then bright red in autumn: its finely cut, palm-shaped leaves put on a new show every season. It can be planted in the ground all year round (except during hard frosts or heatwaves) or kept in a pot on a terrace or balcony.
Plant, water, measure: an adventure to share
Digging the hole, setting the tree in place, watering it, spreading the mulch: every step is easy to share with children as they discover how a tree lives. Then it’s their turn to measure its height each season, note how its colours change and look after it: watering it in summer, protecting it before winter. A young gardener in charge of their own tree, and proud to watch it grow.

A Japanese maple ‘Atropurpureum’ in a 9 cm pot, approximately 40 cm tall including the pot
