Acer Scarlet Sentinel 50lt

cer ‘Scarlet Sentinel’ is a beautiful deciduous ornamental maple admired for its striking autumn foliage and attractive upright growth habit.

Throughout spring and summer, its lush green, maple-shaped leaves create a lovely canopy, bringing freshness and elegance to the garden.

As autumn arrives, the foliage transforms into a spectacular display of brilliant scarlet red, creating a stunning seasonal feature.

With its relatively narrow, upright form, Scarlet Sentinel is an excellent choice for feature planting, avenues, driveways and landscaped gardens where a more compact canopy is preferred.

Its beautiful seasonal colour and elegant shape make it a wonderful addition to larger residential gardens and ornamental landscapes.
