Acer platanoides ‘Crimson King’ is a very popular, handsome Acer variety. It’s a round-headed, medium-sized fast-growing tree. Lime green flowers tinged red appear in April followed by large intense purple foliage which turn bright orange brown during the autumn. Other comparable purple-leaved forms are Acer ‘Goldworth Purple’ and Acer ‘Royal Red’. Received an Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society. Very easy to grow in a wide range of well-drained soils. They thrive in sun but with partial shade to protect the leaves from scorch. A sheltered area away from strong winds is preferred.
