Acer Negundo 'Flamingo'

If your soil is moist, fertile and well drained, in sun or partial shade, then you have the perfect conditions to grow this variety.

If planting in the garden, prepare a wide hole and loosen the soil with a fork, incorporating organic matter as needed to improve moisture retention and condition.

Plant your Acer so that the top of the root ball is just slightly below ground level.

Fill the planting hole with soil and heel well in. Water well.

Aftercare advice

Leaf colour is best in partial shade, although full sun can be tolerated as long as the plant is well watered.

Avoid exposed places as leaves can suffer with windburn (scorch), especially if the plant is dry.

Water regularly and deeply, and feed with our specialist Acer feed.

Pruning advice for your Acer

Acers generally do not need pruning, just remove any branches that are dead or damaged.

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
