Its three-lobed leaves emerge with a red tinge in spring, mature to a glossy green with red stalks through summer, then turn a brilliant orange-red to crimson from early to late autumn — colouring branch by branch for a display that lasts for weeks. Upright clusters of small pinkish-red flowers appear on bare branches in spring, followed later by the characteristic winged, pink-tinged seed pods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA vigorous, upright tree with upswept branches, 'Red Sunset' develops a rounded, symmetrical crown as it matures, making it an excellent specimen for larger gardens, lawns or open landscapes where its autumn colour can really stand out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGrow in full sun or partial shade, in fertile, moisture-retentive soil that leans acid to neutral — it will grow in most reasonably deep soils but colours best where it isn't sitting on chalk. It's fully hardy (RHS H6) and best sited somewhere semi-sheltered from strong or salt-laden winds, needing only minimal pruning once established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach tree is hand-selected before dispatch, supplied in a 12-litre pot ready for planting straight into its final position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PengellyGardenCentre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58772030718326,"sku":null,"price":84.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0380\/1766\/3020\/files\/Screenshot2026-09-19084821.png?v=1789804149","url":"https:\/\/www.pengellygardencentre.co.uk\/products\/acer-rubrum-red-sunset-12ltr-pot","provider":"PengellyGardenCentre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
